Love the colours.

The last image really does it for me- Love the blue and chrome.

Hi
Thanks for the nice comments.

This one will give you an idea of the scale




BUT I have loads of images that are just not quite there;




I've seen some really good airshow shots on here- what lenses/technique do you all find works best?

Thanks

John

Hi
Here are a few images from the large model airshow held at Elvington during the summer.
I really like the DA 55-300. But do struggle with it at air shows. It could well be my technique, or it could be a limitation of the lens.

Anyway a few images.

Hi

For what it's worth here are my thoughts

I've started to use an optech strap

http://optechusa.com/straps/utility-strap-sling.html

I found that conventional camera straps around the neck were very uncomfortable, tried this and really like it- easy to use camera etc.

But, some times a "full" strap gets in the way, so I use this

http://optechusa.com/straps/slr-wrist-strap.html

The connector stays on the camera, just click on either the wrist strap or full strap, depending on what I'm doing.

The wrist strap is really just for security, I find that whilst carrying I hold he camera by the grip.

I think that to use a strap or not is really down to individual preference and circumstances.

Hi

Just tried it on my K5 (bought from Brian and very pleased with it ). Anyway using the under score symbol with the little uprights ( like this [ but rotated 90 degree anticlockwise) give a space in the copyright name. Bit long winded!!!

Cheers all

Hi

still trying to get my head around using the iPad to PP RAW. I have a couple of RAW converter APPS. Also been using Photogene - this supports RAW.

I plan on using the 18-135 for everything whilst away - probably take the 50mm to use in the evening.

Anyway I enjoyed my free afternoon, then got stuck on the M60 on the way home!!

Cheers


John

So I needed a few RAW images to checkout conversion and PP on an iPad. We are going to Menorca at the weekend and I plan on taking the K5 with the 18-135WR along with my SMC F 50mm 1.4.

These are a few samples from today, PP with Photogene. I've resized them as well.










Any thoughts/comments welcome

Well I managed to get to Llangollen this afternoon and it was full!

Loads of people, coaches and the car parks were full - so I ventured out into the beautiful countryside and had a play.

I'm going to do all my post processing on the iPad. Will post some images here if I have managed to produce anything worthwhile.

John

Hi Stu

Llangollen sounds like an option. I was last there about 30 years ago on a narrow boat!

Thanks


John
