How do pictures end up in a froup on Flickr I am not a member of? I don't mind, but I hate those banners/pics/awards things. I thought you could only add your own pics?

Whoops sorry, this is supposed to be a pointless thread

I thought you already had two of those, John?

Thats's a great shot, I really like it!

Why not one of these? I would love one. Cheaper, handles runways far better,, and you could live in it!

No 2 is excellent: "Suggestions welcome!" seems a good title to me!

Av almost exclusively. M for panoramas, or with some of my older lenses.

Thanks all, it's a great perk of the job to get opportunitiess to take pictures like these. I only just wish it happened more often! As pointed out, it's a bit more of a stable platform than a C172! I got someone to clean the windows before this trip.

I have recently started work on a book, which initially will be a Blurb one, but I will be approaching a few publishers with the hope of getting someone interested in publishing it, thanks to the suggestion to do so from David and Adrian on a previuos set I posted. It's taken me a while to get the processing right, which now involves using Lightroom (lens correction, noise, WB, grad filter if needed) then CS5 (levels, curves, colour balance), then Lightroom again (final tweaks if needed), then sharpening in CS5. Sounds tedious but I've cut down the time I spend on each photo from 30 mins odd when I only used CS5 to about 5 mins...

Ideally I need two bodies, one for the zoom and one for the Super-Wide, but as I will be carrying an IR camera as well soon, I'll just have to continue to make do with quick lens changes.

Nice set, this place would look very deary without the graffiti. In derelict spaces like this I think it actually improves the environment by injecting a bit of colour.

Here's where you can connect and discuss this weeks comp!

I originally was quite excited avout this lens, but now I doubt I will ever buy it: I don't think it outperforms my Sigma 18-250, and the Sigma has almost twice the range.
