weather not looking great for tomorrow, lets hope it is better than the forecast says it is going to be, I will be setting off from mid wales early in the morning and hope the weather doesn't spoil the day to much

some very nice shots Pete I bet you had a great day, i would love to go to the viaduct to get some shots of a steam train running over it, I was talking to a girl that went there last year when the scotsman was running over it and she had some fantastic shots I did see the tornado on severn valley l...

hi, Did you get to the bottom of the problem, or did you revert to sending it off for calibration? I've just got rid of my 100-400 L mk1 for the simple reason that I seemed to bin more than I kept - have traded that for a Canon 300mm F4 L. Dan I printed off a focus calibration chart mounted it to c...

Just to open an old thread & give me spin on it. I shoot lot's of Military aircraft & have found a far greater percentage of keepers when using the back button to focus than trying to keep the shutter button in the right place, In fact I'm so used to it now I tend to use it for all of my focusing d...

as a norm i don't watermark my pictures but i will do it on certain pictures that might have a wider appeal and could easily be lifted for use in advertising of commercial use https://farm1.staticflickr.com/651/20162808843_27d2fdc406_b.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5692/20790728821_387b887a94_b...

One from cardiff a few years ago, the manx two dornier under the wing of the Alba star

some very nice cars on show there, not sure if the land rover fits in though

I had to double take the Bentley the reflections in the shiny paint looks like it has had a prang on the wing

andy most of the shots that i have posted are taken with the car coming towards the camera and shot at fast shutter speeds to freeze the action, the picture of the number 11 car was taken at 1600th of a second, the other trick is to get on the exit of a corner or a chicane and the cars will be at th...

on Bank holiday monday i had a day out at oulton park to watch the British Gt championship, the weather was fantastic and the sun shone for most of the day so the sun was in the wrong place making morning shots at knickerbrook impossible so i went further round the circuit to britten's chicane and h...

I have had the 7D mk11 for a while now and have used it many times with my 70-200 2.8 L lens and never noticed an issue when shooting aviation or motorsport, but last friday I was working very close to my subject and using very shallow depth of field of F/2.8 or F/4 and i noticed that close in my le...

I was over in germany last weekend and discovered the chips over there have an interesting extra



No chips for me thanks

Hi wayne welcome to the board

I cant really help with scanning tips but am sure some on the board will be able to help you with that

Hi mike welcome to the board, I visited white waltham for the first time this year on the way down to heathrow and thought it was a nice airfield that is probably very busy at the weekend we saw a fair bit of activity on a friday lunchtime

do you still stay in the same area ?

it is somthing that i have stuck with and for fast moving subjects like motorbikes i seem to be getting a lot more keepers than using the shutter button for focusing i haven't really found any issues using back button focusing and actually find it quite natural as my thumb sits over the AF ON button...

Hi Mate cheers for the welcome how did the wildlife pics turn out there probably the hardest subjects to shoot as they are so unpredictable and never stay still for long enough as you then push the shutter release oops one shot of there backside with no head :lol: wildlife shots are still work in p...

Hi welcome to the forum, I am just trying out some wildlife pictures having mainly concentrated on aviation and motorsport in the past

I'm in a bit a pickle here, its time to retire my faithful 600D, but I'm torn between the 7Dmk2 & 80D, both are of similar price. Pros & Cons for both, could anybody help, just a honest opinion I have the 7D mk11 and it is a fantastic camera well suited to aviation photography and if you shoot at a...
