We went just after Christmas when there was a light show on. Taken on a tripod, no issues.

Just to finish the post, I did purchase a Sirui T-024SK Carbon Fibre Tripod with B-00K Ball Head (Black) and it's perfect for my needs. Much more stable than the Manfrotto Befree aluminium tripod I had before. I would highly recommend one if you are in the market for a travel tripod. Bought mine...

Thank you all for your replies. @Adamcski this is the one I'm looking at Sirui T-024SK Carbon Fibre Tripod with B-00K Ball Head (Black)

Good afternoon, I'm looking into getting a carbon travel tripod, are Sirui a decent make? I have a Manfrotto tripod but its too big to take on holiday. Many thanks Simon

Beautiful birds, lovely image.

Beautiful!

Just general photography. I have a Canon 55-250mm IS STM at the moment but its not working correctly so, If I am going to change it I might as well go with a little bit longer reach. Budget up to £300....ish

Good afternoon, I am looking into a 7-300mm lens for a Canon 80D. I'm afraid the "L" series lens is above my pay grade. Does anyone use any of the following and have any thoughts or recommendations? Tamron AF SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD Canon EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM Canon EF 70-300mm...

I'm sorry but I feel very uncomfortable with your comments.

Thank you for all the advice. It looks like the "cheap" lens, that took me a good few months to save up for, will be going back to Wex as it is still under warranty.

Good evening, I have an EF-S 18-135mm IS Nano USM lens, lovely lens but the zoom ring is not smooth. From about 50mm through to 135mm is very "jerky" when zooming in and out. I have a couple of STM lenses which are a smooth as silk! Any suggestions? Is there anything I can do? Many thanks Simon

Thank you for your advice guys.

Thank you for your time @kingbob734

Thanks @kingbob734 . I have had another go this morning, is more the sort of thing you were talking about? Simon

I would some critique on this image please. Comments taken on board from the last attempt. It looks much sharper Here I think I prefer the bottom crop. Many thanks Simon
