Good morning John,

You are absolutely right, it was on the mound opposite the viewing park. It's where I normally go when I go there.

How often do you go?

Cheers,

Howard

Why does being a Welshman make you confused

(Although having just reviewed the comment, I'm confused by the smilies!!!!)

Sorry to hijack your post again. These are from a trip to Manchester Airport yesterday







Taken with the K5 and Pentax 55-300.

I too still have an SMC DA 3.5 - 5.6 18-55 AL which came with an IST* DL2 which I bought from Jessops about 5 years ago. Always been happy with it. Now attached my K10.

Cheers,

Howard

Hi Rob,

Interesting advice and comments here. I visit RAF Valley quite often when I go to Holyhead, especially the Cymyran end. I find it a good place to get close up shots of the aircraft when they land or when taxiing. These are from last October, with a 55-300 and a K5 and probably on TAV.







And this with the Sigma 150-500.




It was grey that day!!!

I find both quite good, except that the Sigma is heavy to handhold, but then I'm no expert.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Howard

Nice ones and a good day then Stu. ( How about that for a learned and helpful comment!!!)

PS I'll have to do my best to make the Snowdon meet.

Nice ones Cliff. I, too, go for the dog(s) as my favourites.

So you didn't sell the 150-500 then.

Cheers,

Howard

Like these Stuey. Are they taken on the moors above Llangollen up the Horseshoe Pass? I've never seen a crossbill in the flesh, lucky you.

Hyfryd iawn.

Howard

Nice ones Cliff. Especially like the longtailed tit, interesting background. Glad you are getting better.

Shaun, here is the announcement of Cliff's heart attack

No David they're near Arley Hall in Cheshire, not far from Knutsford.

I've spoken to Cliff and he says he is "on the mend" and is bored and that's why he is doing some PPing.

Howard

The following are joint efforts between myself, who presssed the button, and Cliff (Cliff_P) who did the PPing

1. Arley in Autumn.



and

2. Old School Arley




Comments and criticism please.

PS Cliff is recovering at home from a severe heart attack.
