Hi I'm based in Cheshire just outside Chester. I'm new to this site but viewed it many times to admire the photos and get information.
I'll say that I play at photography as I'm not even close to being in the same league of photographers that post on here.
The main thing is I enjoying watching and trying at least, to get that killer crisp shot that always seems to escape me.
Now is it my equipment or my post photo editing skills.
What I use to photograph with is a sony alpha a300 which is is entry level and getting on bit, some 7 or 8 years old. This is paired up to a tamron 70-300 f4/f5.6 usd lens although I do have others this is what I use for the flying stuff.
I am considering a new camera and with both my children starting to show a keen interest I'm considering jumping ship to canon or nikon and pass on the Sony to the kids. How ever I could buy a newer Sony as I have 2 300mm lenses and so save some on the cost. But I'm thinking may be 400mm lens.
Any thoughts on the best way to go would be greatly appreciated.
Please enjoy and leave comment on the photos below.
