I'm up there tomorrow (Tuesday 22nd, probably a little too short notice for you). I usually get to the Cad West car park for around 8.30 - 8.45 am, farm traffic permitting! The only other thing I'd add is that if you go up and the weathers hot take some sun block or lotion as you can get burnt...

Bob's your uncle indeed! Thanks for the advice, just downloaded DNG converter and seems to be...well...converting! Can't see any problems from here on in. I might very well upgrade LR soon but this looks like the perfect work around. Once again many thanks. Tim

Having owned a 50D for a few weeks now I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do with the raw files. I find DPP a little clunky as I'm used to processing my shots in Lightroom 1.4, but I suspect I will have to shell out £80 to upgrade to LR 2.1 to support the camera's files. I was half hoping that...

Hi princeclan, all the content is by me, thought it might be a good idea to give an overview of the aircraft rather than just leave the photo's to speak for themselves, suppose it just gives a little added value if you get my drift. Tim

If anyones interested in aviation photography I've just updated it, please let me know what you think. Link is below. Thanks Tim

I've had a imac for the past 14 months and it's brilliant, never known it to crash, loads photos (raw) really quickly and as I run Lightroom and photoshop at the same time, switching between the two programs is seamless, highly recommended in my book! Tim

Thanks for that Neil, I'll look into it. Tim

Thanks for the comments, never realised about the validate to standards, please advise on what this actually means. I don't know whether it's called cheating but I've just used the Clikpic web hosting company and they have templates etc which you can alter, and if I did have experience in web...

Not too sure if I'm allowed to post this here?,.... but I'm sure I'll soon find out! I've just put together my first ever website and although this post is nothing to do with shameless self promotion! I would like some feedback, good, bad or indifferent.....I've been slaving away at it all...

It's a good all round lens and great fun too, just a word of caution though, the AF is slower being a third party lens than your dedicated Canon, Nikon equivilants, but great at the price! Just learn to experiment with it and you'll love it!

It's also pretty good for close-ups too!...not quite upto Rolls Royce's Angel standard admittedly, but this statuete appeared on the bonnet of a really battered Cuban car last summer.

Did have it in the local press a few weeks ago that they were going to land, but looking at the RAF Shawbury website (under Events) it contradicts the reports. Pity really as it would have been something different. But who do you believe?!!

Had a drive round the base tonight after work and saw the apache parked up, also 2 tucanos and I think the King Air, although that was over the far side of the runway.

To be honest Lee I haven't got a clue! You could try ringing them on 01902 372204. There's 2 other pubs in Albrighton "The Harp" and "The Bush" very close to the Crown, you could try them. Tim

Vulcan update.....the aircraft was due to fly today with the CAA in attendance, but due to poor weather it was cancelled....think that's blown the Cosford outing...pity really because it was looking promising this morning. Tim
