10 part Bucket List

I put together a bit of a bucket list when my MS started getting bad, some aviation, some fishing, some foody and the rest family related. I've already got one ticked off, that was to catch a fish from my bedroom window !............. Not as daft as it may seem, I'd seen those 'chalet' type rentals ...

Re: Todays (13/10/15) A-380 into Manchester

Thanks for the nice comments folks.

I'm not this lucky everyday, normally if they're running from the 05 end and over here (Possibly 20-30 days a year) you can guarantee low cloud !

Todays (13/10/15) A-380 into Manchester

It's been beautiful here today and I noticed that they were swinging in from my end (05) again. Had a look on FR24 and followed her up from the Channel expecting to get some good shots in the near perfect light !! Bu*%er ! https://farm1.staticflickr.com/772/21512974863_71bce6df9f_k.jpg Emirates A-38...

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM Lens + extras

Only taken 4 shots, honest, opened box, made sure it worked, that was it. Due to ill health and becoming unable to safely swap lenses around safely I feel I need to sell this lens. Comes with tulip hood, carry case, 3x lens filters in their own case, front/rear lens caps and a safety strap to keep t...

Re: Easy Jet to Newquay

I appreciate that, thanks, I just wondered if any body knew what year it actually started, so I can work out just how many lost hours I've spent stuck in traffic on the M6/ M5/ A30 on my way down to work when I could have ''let the plane take the strain'' ! Baring in mind that other than holidays I'...

Easy Jet to Newquay

Re: New Flickr site.....

I've just had a look at the 'new' Flickr site and I have to say I'm disgusted with them!! A few years back I bought 'pro' and got to upload a few extra pictures a month etc, they then gave out 'pro' to everyone for free just after I had paid my annual renewal subs !! They now want us to pay for 'pro...

Re: A question regarding zoom lenses.

Can't beat the 100-400 Mike (IMHO), it's a bit over the thousand pounds mark, but well worth it.
Failing that, try the "Bigma", you should get one of those in your price band


edit, sorry didn't see you wanted a camera too.
