Thanks. Ill give it a whirl

Hi, I have had this lens for nearly 12 months and I use this with my Canon 40D. I have noticed that the images come out rather dark and I have to brighten them using Lightroom. Is this a usual thing or/how do I compensate for a lens of this reach? I usually shoot at 8.0 and the ISO is dependant on t...

Not posted on here for a while but I managed to escape during a mid week break to Center Parcs. Sadly it appears I have forgotten how to photograph military aircraft. Heat haze at Lakenheath was pretty bad and my positioning was all wrong too. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4171/34596794556_f4d0729eb...

Thanks guys. Looks like an increase of F15s at Lakenheath will be great, plus anything else that turns up.
Ill have to remember it is supposed to be a "family holiday" though ;-)

Having booked a family stay at Center Parcs at Elevden Forest, I was happy when I saw the F35s and that they would be at Lakenheath for a month. I go on Monday and the F35 have broken off home! It would have been a bonus but when I was last at the same Center Parcs in February 2016, Lakenheath was o...

I emailed on the 10th and 17th and again this morning.

Now that's where I have been going wrong!

Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading, but not sure if I should upgrade my Canon 40d or my Sigma APO DG 70-300. Budget £300-400ish.

Any suggestions please??

Thanks,

Paul

Lovely shots! Im up there on Holiday nearby from 30th July til 6th August, hoping to get a few sneaky trips in :)! Matt Sadly there will be no fixed wing ops from Valley from Wednesday 27th due to the crossover of the runways being resurfaced. I think Hawks are going to St Athan and the daily civvy...

Don't get to post much these days, but here are some of the locals at Valley on the hottest day of the year so far! https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8098/27800381554_d61645a365_b.jpg ZJ241 by Paul Owen , on Flickr https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8647/27801474983_44273097c9_b.jpg ZK023 by Paul Owen , on F...
