Photos look fab - well done for your 1st attempt!

Mandarin duck me thinks...

We have done all of ours in eggshell, much nicer than gloss. If you're painting directly onto raw wood (pine) i would strongly suggest buying a knot sealer or an proper knot-sealing primer as the knots will seep resin through within a few weeks and it looks awful. Yes - we made that mistake...

Another airgunner here, had plenty of springers and PCPs (PreCharged Pneumatics) in the past. Can highly recommend the Daystate Mk3, get the regulated version for very consistent shot to shot accuracy. These work on an electronic trigger and solenoid system which makes them near enough silent...

For me it looks like the sky is a little over-saturated. RE composition, try using the rule of thirds, as this looks like it is a bit 50-50 with sky and foreground. JB

I have a Dakine Photo Mission, will do all what you want and more, can't recommend it highly enough, had it for 3 years now - awesome! Review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOpvKwL7O-8 Jonathan

Meter off the tarmac or grass? For flying planes? I nearly always use centre weighted, can make the sky blow if the plane has been painted in dark colours though... JB

Where abouts were you standing to get the first 2 pics?

Awesome pics there, but how did you get those angles? Did you have a media pass? Jonathan

If you were in Av mode, all you probably needed to do was up the ISO a bit more, as it has been said many times before, it is better to have a grainy photo, rather than a blurred one! ...or use flash ;-) Jonathan

So do you have a press pass, or are you just an "average joe" and turned up, did you go suited and booted? I would like to get amongst the celebs and give this ago, just for the experience and atmosphere... There are a few in there where a slightly higher shutterspeed would have been...

No worries, I always find that the shot always looks better when you look through the view finder, and then when you get home you start noticing little glitches, i guess, it just comes with experience, which i am slowly learning! Jonathan

It's a nice image for colour and atmosphere, though i would like to see more of that spider's web in the foreground. Also the diagonal leading line of the edge of the field from the bottom left to right makes me want to try and turn my head and look around the corner of the hedgerow. Does...

A friend of mine has narrowed their search down to these two cameras. Can anyone pick between the two? Both have good reviews, the only down side to the Sony one looks to be Sony Duo memory sticks and the non-orthodox usb cable. These are the cameras is question: SONY DSCW215.CEH...

Search for Intro 2020 and ask them for a quote, they re-aligned the elements in a Tamron lens i used to have. Jonathan
