Hi from another newbie

Season's greetings to one and all.

I got into photography in the mid eighties when I bought an OM1 second hand with a couple of lenses. Still works fine, but I thought things might have moved on a little so I went looking at DSLRs. I chose a K20D above the others in my price range for the fact that the immage stabilisation is built into the body, and the solid feel and weight. I also bought the basic 18-55 and 55-300 lenses.

I tend to snap aircraft, wildlife and anything that strikes me as daft or ironic.

Thanks in advance for any useful information members give me.

Thanks for the welcome.

I got the camera late on a Sunday and had to work all the folowing week so got a bit frustrated, but I did manage this, which I was pleased with for an early effort.

Sadly Father Ted, that will probably not happen. Her funding is hanging by a thread and she did herself no favours last year, missing over 50% of her scheduled appearances I would be pleased but surprised to see her fly again

Welcome Oggy, the Vulcan must fly again!

I haven't seen one airborne since... too long ago. If the penny pinchers ground her may they rot in Whitehall
Cheers, HG

K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

PPG entries.
