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 nice shots, i have not seen G-LAUD yet but as it is now on the Loch lomond sea planes fleet i am sure i will catch it on my next visit to Loch Lomond also it is nice to see G-EELS again it was originally used to transport glass eels/Elvers around Europe but it soon turned into the Staverton pas...

Hi paul some great pictures as usual, I guess this was you on the way to RIAT, where did you take them from?

some great shots from the south side, I have not really done any civilian photography for ages and it is probably two years since i have been to Manchester, but your post inspired me to get up there again so a 4.30 am start last Friday and i was on the south side at 6.30am it was a bit overcast but ...

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...

got it Thanks

some nice shots andy, after my first visit on monday morning when the sun was a problem it shows that a visit later in the day is the way to go the north side is only really good from about 3pm onwards, before that you really need to be out on the approaches to get the light behind you I'll try to ...

there was a few locals turned out for the sun country, there was also lots of talk about the plus ultra, but due to the 230 mile trip home and the potential of hitting the bank holiday traffic and work on tuesday i couldn't hang around much after midday I would like to spend more time in this area a...

looks like the pilot had a tough time of it and a bet a few of the passengers were twitching a bit

I was down in the cambridge area for the Little Gransden airshow on sunday staying overnight so Monday morning i made my fist ever visit to Stansted, I arrived at Belmer road to find that runway 04 was being used it was 9.00am and sun was shining making photography quite difficult https://c5.staticf...

Bat 21 Wins !! Sorry not posted a reply, been unwell. They were indeed shot from the end of the corridor, level 2 of the Renaissance, luckily we had the room next to it so I was able to wait for something on finals and pop out, you have to be on the ball though as you get a 2-3 second opportunity b...

Great set as Mike asks where did you take them from ditto, excellent. I think they might be from the Radisson Paul / Mike but I believe you have to take through glass there and if that's the case that makes them even better as a photo achievement Andy do you mean the renaissance heathrow? the Radis...

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...

very nice set taken from one of my fave locations but sadly only made it up once this year so will have to make a point of going again soon

Looks like you had some very dark skies to contend with but got some very good shots

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...

Nice catch but i am not sure if I would chosen the word FAT for the livery

Mark looks like you had a grey and overcast day with very little blue sky but you still got some nice shots from a great location

some great shots paul

I think where these were taken from is my fave spot on the south side now as you can still avoid the fence and get some nice rotation shots, was it a stop over on the way to RIAT again?
