The Photography Thread

I'm not one to talk, but is that a wee bit harsh a relief, maybe?

Good camera??

I took loads. That was my fave. Here's an outtake:-

I took some photos on a cycling trip to the Isle of Lewis at the end of May. I cycled up to the Butt of Lewis on the bank holiday Monday and then down the west coast before returning to Stornoway on the Friday.

You're very welcome! What lens did you shoot with for the day? I'm planning for my visit to Duxford next month and i'm thinking of going with two cameras - one with a 100-400mm and another with an 18-55mm for close up.

Take both, no reason not to. Load them up with a decent polariser too to deepen the blue sky, the weather this weekend was perfect, especially later on when the sun moved around to the right, perfect for the polariser to work at its best.

Normally I have 2 bodies - I borrow a 300/2.8 and use a 1.4 extender sometimes and/or use my camera in DX mode rather then FX to pull the planes in a bit, the ones ive posted here are with a Nikon 180/2.8 for the closer stuff on the second body. I have a 24-70/2.8 for the static and for getting wider shots of the sky (if your close enough to the flight line dependent on display too, although I didn't use it this weekend.

[QUOTE 2496133, member: 9609"]how were the midges[/quote]


Surprisingly they weren't bad at all. I normally spend a week or two a year up in Scotland, and this year was definitely the best I can remember in terms of how few midges there were.

Loving that Vulcan, saw one fly at farnborough air show when i was 12, Wow that was 49 years ago, it looks in better nick than me.

She's the only one left and won't be flying for much longer unless the funding can be raised (£400,000) before October!
