Yeah its a shame it wasn't Tuesday, apparently the F15s had about 18-20 passes through that day. Oh well give me an excuse to go back again

Well Peter your advice was sound and I will post some shots up soon. Had a great time and when I looked at some other peoples shots with an L Lens boy can you see the difference. But happy for first time. Ipswichboy you have to go, took us three hours to get there, and we had 1 herc, 2 F-15s...

Thanks for the advice Peter. Think we are going to Cad West, but the Weather is not looking to good. Hopefully it wont rain all day and I will get some shots. Thanks again Simon

Hi all I have been given the chance to go to the Loop on Thursday, and also a lens to use (as I dont have one yet) and wondered if there was any advice for setting my camera up. ISO shutter speeds etc. I have not had an opportunity to photograph aircraft since getting my camera so I am...

Wow thanks, gonna go and retry the cameras. I don't know anyone with a 40D but I do know someone with a 30D so I will ask them if I can have a go. Like most say its down to the individual but I like to hear what others have to say. I am not rushing into it as I want to wait til I can get on...

I was all in for a Canon 40D (not tried one but peoples recommendations), then I did something really stupid. I have had a go with a few cameras. :bang: My mates Nikon D90 and my brothers Canon 600D, both get superb results and felt great in my hands, curse me for confusing it all.:bonk...

Thanks Kauto_Star I will take a look at them all, It can get confusing but this info will help

Nice mustang Tony, love the prop blur. As for cost well as I just getting into this not mega-bucks to start with. I will probably have about £200-£300ish (depending on how much my camera body is). Not loads but I would rather save up than buy something that wont do the job.

Hi All I am just try to sort out ideas, getting tips on equipment etc. Now apart from pics at home the other main reason for getting a dslr set up is for Airshows. I am really into WW2 aircraft so my main airshow would be Duxford Flying Legends. I am looking at getting a Canon...

Thanks for the lowdown, Im not in any major rush, got the big 40 birthday this Saturday so hopefully get my funds up to where they need to be. Plus its giving me time to look at loads of stuff on here which is really interesting.

Thanks kickstart Can't use link yet, not been on here long enough I think. That's ok, just reading forum rules again Simon

Hi Guys wow info overload, so many things to look at. Thanks all for the replies I am starting to work it out. Looking at getting a 40d. doing my research. One thing I wanted to ask was about actuations (shutter count), for a second hand camera what would be a good amount and what would...

Hi All Thanks for the replies. I will start looking at lenses and body prices separately now. Alastair, perhaps I dont need a DSLR but I have had a few smaller format cameras and while they have got better they will never be as good and I want to get something that will last, where I can...

Hi All New to this forum and DSLR Cameras. After trying a few out I have decided that a Canon is for me (As my brother has a 600D with a few lenses). Thing is he knows what he wants from his camera (having owned a 300, 450 and 50), and hires the big lenses for airshows etc. Me I want a...

Hi all :wave: Just a quick hello, new to this forum and digital photogapy. (Still got a minolta X-700, not used anymore) I do have a 6 year old kodak(to slow) but looking to step up with a real camera. so will be looking for plenty of gear advice, tips etc in the coming months Skids72
