The taxi shot screams NYC to me, the others less so. The Brooklyn bridge one is nice though. I wetn between Xmas and New Year and found that the best viewing area for the bidge on the Brooklyn side is currently cordened off but I also noticed there was a hole in the fence so I hopped through to...

Doesn't do it for me either i'm afraid. A sporting coupe is all about the open road. This picture is too dark and the angle does not do the car any favours either. Take a browse through some more brochures for inspiration or have a look out for the excellent book entitled "How to Photograph...

I think that whilst many car parks do appear to have way more disabled spaces than will ever be needed at once they are there for use by blue badge holders only. I generally prefer to park as far away as possible in a car park away from other motorists. It might mean a little longer walk, maybe...

There's nothing wrong with RAID 1, mirroring as it just mirrors one disc to another. Striped RAID 2 etc is faster but you'll lose data if a drive goes down. Many home PC's support RAID1. Just don't get confused with the other RAIDS.

I can see Jodrell bank from my house (well my road) and it is pretty impressive. Never been up close to it but have driven past a few times. Every time I think about photographing it though the dish is always the wring way round and the sun in the wrong place.

Went last March to both Havana and some more remote beach type resort whose name escapes me at the moment. Wandered around Havana quite happily but didn't go to any show. Went to Varaddero for the day which was OK as we went around some of the more locals areas. If you follow my link below...

Not sure if anyone has posted this before (apologies if they have). Found this video which was created entirely from 45,000 Photographs taken by a Nikon D200 DSLR. This Photographs were stitched together to create the illusion of video. I wonder how many bodies they went through...

Saw one at Farnborough this year and the way they take off is amazing with such a steep rate of assent. Always makes me wonder how they manage to do it really.

Pretty impressive, can't think it would personally be that useful but people thought that about cameras and video in mobiles. It's more the fact that you can even if you never use it. I think it would have been better integrated into the 50D though rather than the 5DMKII.

What camera were they taken on?

You can always push the 3200 to 6400 and beyond to make it granier. T-Max is particularly fine grain film. Also maybe shoot on 35mm as 6x6 is a bit big to make enlargements from, again blow up a 35mm neg and watch the grain!

My wife went to a funeral the other year where it became apparant the diggers had dug the hole in the wrong plave (next to someone the relative detested). The funeral had to be delayed whilst they dug a new hole!

Haven't found Exposure check yet and i've had it for a year! Most used functions are AEB and the shutter! Sensor cleaning is handy but have had to remove a few big bogeys from the sensor but it's easy enough to do. I don't care if a 50D is now available the 40D is fine for me.

One of the best tracks for photography! Anywhere pretty much is good but my personal favourites are the last corner before the main start/finish straight and Knickerbrook. Been several times but hired a 100-400 Canon lens last time which was top. Follow my link at the bottom and have a look...

Where did you get the landing shots from? I've been to Manchester about 5 times now and never managed to get any landings!
