Re: Tamron 150-600mm & Sigma 150-600 Contemporary
I tried both the Sigma C and the Tamron at RIAT last year. I definately preferred the Sigma as it seemed to have the edge of the Tamron but it's very much personal choice. I went and bought the Contemporary last Saturday so not really tried it out but for the half hour spent walking around taking ra...

Car park passes
Hi all, When I booked our tickets back in January I included 2nr car park passes but these aren't attached to the email. Does anyone know if they're issuing/emailing passes or it was just a way of establishing numbers? There's nothing on their FAQ's and a Google search brought up different answers. ...

Re: A big catch up (Large Post)
I can only echo the comments above...a stunning set of images that are all too good to pick a favourite. That said, I really like 33 and the aggressive view of the Tonka in 41

Belated RIAT & FIA
Evening all, Thought i'd post a few images from the two airshows I attended in July; RIAT & Farnborough. For RIAT we spent Friday at Rhymes and Saturday inside the fence and for the FIA we had a lovely couple of afternoons on the A325 Farnborough Road. Here's a few from both shows... 1) https://farm...

As 1. using IS, and without (given shutter speed), including mode 2 IS for panning. 3. Ranges were most...

Re: Technique and Settings
Hello everyone, I am trying to nail down the root cause of bad quality images from my recent visit to FAI#14. I am at a loss, and hope someone, perhaps with similar / same equipment can help pinpoint whatever mistake I may have made. My equipment: Canon EOS 650d / Canon 100-400mm L The issue: I too...
