The biggest challenge was figuring out all the focusing systems. Going from a camera that just focuses on whatever you point it at to one with all the smart features and pages and pages of settings just about auto focus was quite a learning curve and required lots of youtube videos to understand.

Thank you all, certainly looks like an R7 is a fantastic choice so I'll go that Hi Alex, just wondering if you made the upgrade to the R7? If so how are you finding it? I'm currently in the same boat, looking to upgrade from a 7D MKII with the Sigma 150-600C. Have the R7 with the adapter in my bask...

Apologies for the delay in replying and thanks all for the replies. Although Headcorn would have been my preferred, and an iconic choice with flying over the White Cliffs of Dover and the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-Le-Ferne, I have booked a flight at Duxford through Aerial Collective at Dux...

I have been given the chance to fly in a 2 seater spitfire, paid for by my parents. I understand there are many locations in the UK that this can be done, dependent on weather conditions and cost increases with longer flying time etc. My question is, has anyone else done this that can recommend whic...

Thanks all for the suggestions, will look into them and maybe see some of you at Lakenheath one of the days.

Good Day all I have a 5 day camping trip planned with the wife, starting this sunday at Willows campsite. Along with Mildenhall, we also plan to visit Lakenheath, armed with my camera. I'd like to seek assistance from local's on what other places of interest there are in the area? I like my photogra...

I have just switched from micro four thirds system to a Canon EOS 7D MKII and I have already purchased a Sigma 150-600mm C and also bought a Canon E-FS 10-22mm. I understand I can get away with using the 10-22mm for static displays but looking for a lens I can use for a general walk around and also ...

It all depends on how fast you can run if things go wrong with the aircraft on final approach, an interesting shot but try and stay safe please. :) Thanks for the word of warning and will bare that in mind for future, regardless of event. I guess the only saving grace was I was monitoring the talkd...

Some nice shots there, but where were you standing to take the last one?

Hi Mike
Thanks, the last one was taken on the grass on Langrick Road, runway 25, opposite end to the spotters carpark.

My first proper post on these forums so hope is all ok with my post. In April I made my first trip to Coningsby in April and had my first attempt at shooting the Phoons with a Panasonic G80 and 100-300 lens. I struggled with settings and light with the lens hunting and results may seem possibly over...
