Re: Proposed changes to photography military photo rules

I'm struggling to understand this loathing of military aircraft to the extent that an odd photo here and there,or the mere mention of the word is so frowned upon by some.Surely it's all about aviation and aircraft at the end of the day - regardless of what colour scheme they are wearing?

Re: Battery grips

Agree with Chris

I prefer the extra weight on the body when using a big zoom or prime - less 'front heavy' and easier on the wrist.

I bought genuine Nikon grips - a bit pricey for all they are though.....

A crazy scheme all right - but one I wouldn't mind seeing through the lens myself. :)

Enniskillen Airport is sometimes used for motor events during the year,and this weekend it was used as the service area and also for a few stages of the Ulster Rally 2013. This Grand flew in earlier today,and I caught it departing this afternoon http://helicopters-ni.smugmug.com/Helicopters/Private-...

Great shot and a pleasure to see something so different... :thumb: Thanks Noryport. Technically the photograph I'm adding today shouldn't be on here (Sorry, but it doesn't feature the aircraft) but it gives a nice idea of what the camera was seeing. http://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/r666/OurManIn...
