A couple of tips here for you. 1) Keep a lens cloth handy, these cold nights they fog up real quick. 2) If your going to use a torch,make sure it's a red light one. That way you wont ruin your night vision. Have fun.

I'm just looking at getting into some Astrophotography. Most if not all of that will be on a tripod. Just looking for some suitable lenses (f2.8 or less) but will not need IS as it has to be turned off anyway if your mounting on a tripod.

Hi all, been a few years since I last posted but getting back into me photography again. Liking the new forum soft wear :clap: Recently I have been forced to retire although the health was not getting any better so I think being made redundant was a bit of a blessing, also it has given me the...

How on earth did you get those shots in the Caves of Crap (I mean Drac). When we went there several years ago they were red hot on not letting you take any pictures. Smells like a covert job does this :-)

Very remiss of me I know, Ive just been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to pick up the camera, yet alone post to the group. Anyhow whilst checking through another old haunt of mine I found the following and though it might be of amusement to some here: Instructions for cleaning...

Not quite, the bike is a bit of a make over special, it started life in 1962 as a 3TA. Then in 1971 the engine was replaced with a rebuilt 1958 unit and the bike modded and re-registered as a Tiger 90. It has now had new barrels and a rebuilt head and twin carbs, taking it up to 500cc. Just...

Well, having tempted some with the picture in the nifty thread, here's the full beasty :nuts: One of those times when the Sigma 10 - 22 really can work for you :)

Started off flying free, after a couple of expensive crashes with me X-Cell Pro I decided to go to scale. Much cheaper in the long run, although I never did crash me Raptor 60 :) Yes, the view over Newcastle was taken by the wife, I was busy 'up front' flying the R44. Worked out about £300...

Not flying inverted yet then ;) Not that I ever did :) Take a peak at me gallery: http://www.runryder.com/helicopter/gallery/5653/

Finally picked up the camera again! Oh and daddies got a new toy :D :D :D

Just a little bit of info for you here, that ain't ordinary water! Think of it as swimming pool water, full of extra stuff like chlorine. So as the water dries out you will be left with some nice, corrosive, salts to knacker your kit :bang: I'd get the camera checked out too :(

Always a difficult area. The one thing I hate about the feedback system is the way a seller will hold off posting your feedback until you have posted. As far as I'm concerned the rule should be, buyer feedback is posted as soon as goods are paid for, seller feedback is posted when good arrive...

Found what I think would make a great photo just around the corner from me. You know the street sign for territory marking ? Well this is a tree full of them, a Geordie Shoe Tree ;) Obviously as the kids are leaving the local sports center they have developed this cute little game of...

Oh what a busy day, appointments with consultants and docs filled most of the day. However I've now finished cardiac rehab and got the all clear, so its back to work full time now. Also me diabetes review was all good news, so it looks like I'm fit for at least another year :thumbs: Having a...

Ahh but then, the plane of focus is in the vertical;) Nice capture BTW.
