Re: Stansted 1st visit

Re: Golden Hour at LHR
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...

Re: canon 7D mk11 front focus issues
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...

Re: Manchester Mon 01/08/16.
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

Re: back button focusing
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...

Re: Manchester 1st July
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?
