A good friend had the same problem after deciding the local camera club wasn't doing much for him, so we sat down over a beer, came up with a list of things that we were comfortable shooting, subjects we'd really like to do and subjects we were not at all comfortable shooting, we then pick one or two things a month and have a go at those. these can vary from a couple of hours, to perhaps a full day or like recently, a 2 day trip.

Just come back yesterday from a trip to Formby for Red Squirrels, New England Lighthouse in the afternoon and Malham Lings yesterday morning for sunrise on the Yorkshire moors.

Total cost for the 2 days inc overnight accommodation, food and fuel about £100 each, so to avoid the lows, perhaps team up with another friendly photographer and do something similar.

Highs for me - the Mach Loop again, to have RAF jets doing 400mph plus and within range of a 135mm lens for frame filling images absolutely superb

Lows - none, due to the above !!

Morning Roy,

Superb, appreciate the link, Thanks, Steve / Gareth will certainly give you a nudge,

Nicely shot Alan, particularly the night shots, have been past them myself, but not had the chance to stop, must make an effort the next time I'm in Falkirk, it's a long way from Gloucester.

Hi Andy,

Excellent images, we're these on an APSC or FF camera please ?

Thanks Roy,

Packaged and will be sent RMSD hopefully for 1pm Wed delivery.

For sale is my Pentax Fit Sigma 150 - 500mm Lens in very good condition,

Recently checked over by Sigma in WGC when the mount was changed to suit a K1 and the firmware was updated. No Fungus, a little dust inside as to be expected and a few marks here and there with use, there is a little paint come off one edge of the mount bracket again with reasonable use.
