Re: Head Spinning - Newbie DSLR Purchase

The word 'Prime' is in no way misleading. I have a Nikon 300 f4 'prime' worth about £200 and a Sigma 150-600 Sport worth about £1000 and the zoom gets very little use. The images from the prime when massively cropped are on par with those taken with the zoom natively. But I do understand the versati...

Re: Head Spinning - Newbie DSLR Purchase

Nice pic BM, you've done what I often do i.e. replying with advice which includes a picture for reference.
It's not possible to provide better proof of your rationale than that but for some odd reason it always kills the post off!

So how big are the fuel tanks on the Hawk then? I know they had jugs on but they were gone for a couple of hours or more and the light had gone when they returned. Guess they'll be around for a bit though...... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53468824059_416cbf6f0c_h.jpg Hawk by Jayson Cork , on...

My first 'Quick climb Friday' 15/12

First ever QCF for me. Light was pants but at least the cloudbase was within limits. Looking forward to another one in good light.

Lakenheath in winter sun.28/11

Another late start but the recoveries occurred in sublime light. My first outing with the Sigma 150-600 Sport and if i'm honest, wasn't expecting miracles having read the reviews to death. suffice to say I am very pleasantly surprised.I won't be selling the 300 prime anytime soon but the results at ...

Re: RAF Coningsby (15/11/2023)

Lovely crisp set of images in some nice light.
Can only echo everyone else's comments with regard to Squadron markings.
I had given up travelling to Coningsby due to the generic grey look.
That splash of colour plus the variation is game changing for me.

Just back from a three night stay at Lulworth Cove.What a thoroughly lovely part of the world.
