Excellent shot

It’s a real conundrum. I have the OLYMPUS 300f4 And use it with converters. Very pleased with the results. But the thought of the 100-400 in such a lightweight package is very tempting. Only problem is that I would need to sell the 300 and it’s a very fine lens. Might need to sit it out for a...

Image 7459 is my choice. The road takes you nicely through the frame

Interested in Think Tank Advantage Plus roller bag, but I see that it is 1cm taller (56cm) than the maximum on Ryanair (55cm) Anyone got this bag and had to travel Ryanair and managed to get it on ok

Dan, i have been shooting hockey for about 7 years and I quickly learned that some of the best shots are not the actual shot itself but either the celebration if the goal is scored or the save if one is made. I tend to sit on the sideline, focus on the keeper at a short corner and if a goal is...

So, am I creating potential problems by storing my cameras and lenses on open shelves in a cool bedroom? I have never stored them in bags. Does fungus become more of a problem if items are stored in bags rather than out in the “open”

Lovely images Joel. I tried to get accreditation for the event on Thursday but was refused because I did not have any published motorsport work not was I working for a motorsports paper or magazine. I was told that I could shoot from anywhere outside the catch fences but decided that was not...

Hi, I and a colleague want to spend a day out photographing architecture and street scenes tomorrow. (16th Feb). We live near Nottingham and have a shortlist of Warwick, Stratford or Leamington. We want to travel to that neck of the woods as we have visited Lincoln, Stamford, and other places...

great concept and well executed. made me smile! Thanks for sharing

Ah, we are staying at Questenberk Hotel. Never been to Prague before so this thread has given me some clues as to where I will go with my cameras

Hey, Geejay57, what is the name of the hotel? We are going in April and staying at a large hotel on the hill.

Now, did you walk up from Buttermere or did you cheats and acces the top via the road to the old mine?

Thanks Damian. As you say, drag racing is a little more predicrptable than the "erratic" movement of players on the pitches. I am worried that there has been no immediate rush of members who want to tell me that these cameras cope well with fast moving sport. Looks like I will be leaving sport...

Thanks Ned, you are the first to reply and you have said what I feared. I was mainly a DSLR sports photographer but decided that I wanted to move into a new phase in my photography and at the tender age of 67 I felt that it was time to stop lugging about heavy equipment and sitting outside in...
