Perhaps we could start a new swap shop :???:

Well done John, now I can see what you were on about :???: I clever piece of design.

Hey Hawk Eye well done! Don't make the next one too hard as Uncle Mut wants a go :???: Cheers

I remember that picture Magic :???:

:yes: I'll pretend you didn't say that! Looks like they like to take em for a ride down under! Cheers

Pure art reef well done! I looks like you got your own private challenge going there! Don't worry about queue jumping the Frenchman he shouldn't be using the RT to rant! Love the "nose on shot" and the splashdown! Cheers

..And our winner is reef with 55% of the vote, well done Steve!

Thanks Martin, DG were taken over by a company Called Greens, I don't know what happened to them after that. Thanks for teh link to I'll have a read later on. Cheers

Nice one Phil When will the port side be finished :???: Cheers

Nice link Dave, interesting too :???:

Dear all, I draw your attention to a slight amendment to the rules concerning posting on other forums. This is just to clarify the situation as I have been asked by a few members. Cheers

Hi Panos, I can see that a lot of work went into presenting this flight, well done! There are some excellent shot's that are competition winners for sure :???: One point about the screenshot size and it was mentioned and agreed with Martyn that we would limit the width to 1024 pixels wherever possible see this post viewtopic.php?t=9 Thanks for getting the baton safely to Recife. Cheers

I understood Martin. Shutter lag would be important to me also especially at airshows. My first Saturday job was working for a company called Derek Gardiner who sold professional cameras. We sold Hassleblad, Mamiya, Leica and Bronicas large format camera so I am familiar with the concept that the larger recording medium along with a matched lens gives a finer result. (At the other end of the spectrum we sold Zenith B's, does anyone remember them? What Junk!) The Canon I want is just outside my acceptable price range unless there's any interest free deals going (I'd rather keep the money

Hi John, I am used to long posts :yes: It's nice to have advice from someone who knows what they are talking about. As for the power debate these cameras do seem to use L-ion batteries so I guess a backup battery would be the way to go (Even at those prices!) The L-ion batteries I think are much lighter so easier on the wrists. I've just had a look at the site you recommended Simi and they don't leave any stone unturned, brilliant! Better be off :wink: I've got the Mother in Law visiting tomorrow (today) so need to be in good fighting form! Cheers

Simi, Many thanks for your thought provoking post, as for the length of it I admire your stamina! I am sure the most use of the camera will be for telephoto work. I was not aware of the two differing sensors. You would think the 35mm would be the best but as you say if you are to lug the thing around all day with heavy lenses you are going to end up with biceps like Uncle Martin and who wants that! :wink: I was starting to side with the Nikon 40X. Specs show it has an image sensor of 23.6 x 15.8 mm; total pixels: 10.75 million, Nikon DX format. It goes on to say Picture Angle Equivale

:good Hi Luke, I must have missed this first time around, thanks for a great post, I love the shot with the FlyBe Dash 8? rushing past well done! It must be pure coincidence but I've just flown in one of them! Cheers

Thanks Martin, not much has changed then :wink: Cheers

Mods please feel free to move this to the correct forum :wink: I am after a new camera, my old Canon compact is fine for still snapshots but useless for action. Sadly (As Fred knows from RIAT) I missed a lot of the action due to slow refresh times and limited focal length. My compact has been good and I will post some shots of my vacation in Jersey soon, the A700 has now been claimed by Mrs Mutley and her old APS camera binned. (Welcome to the digital age Lisa!) So I have been looking mainly at Canon as I've always had Canon but also Pentax, Olympus and Nikon. From what I can see the tw

Just for fun, I wanted to see if the poll works! As we have seen in all sections of the Around The World Challenge the screen shots have been excellent and has really brought the best out of you :wink: I have chosen one picture from each of the legs so far in the SAS, please vote for your favourite. You can post a comment too if you feel the urge! Mutley leg 52 wisemanp Leg 53 dgor Leg 54 reef Leg 55 Smeagol Leg 56 wisemanp Leg 57 More of the same to come :yes: Cheers

Great flight Phil, I guess that's the Level-D with all that wing flex modelled so well? Shame about the first class spilling the coffee, I think if I were flying the 763 I would make strategic steep turns just when the coffee was being served too! I loved all the shots but particularly the landing ones. Thanks for completing this leg Phil. Cheers

Is he still missing :wink: that's not good news. Cheers

Amen John :wink:

I am still catching up Martin, you must have seen at least two of them though :wink: And yes I do thoroughly recommend it Martin we had a great time. I will try to post some shots soon. Cheers

Dai, You can rant on all you like my favourite token Welshman, it's only the best Welsh lamb for us here in "Chez Mutley" :yes: Luckily our local butcher only sells the best meat :wink: Cheers

It looks like the standard 60.3mm galvanised steel tubular posts with 41.5 mm top rails and heavy gauge chain link. You should know John :wink: I haven't a clue about the airport though.
