God damn you and your deadly deadly knowledge!
I thought spitfire would be a bit obvious, and hurricanes aint far off really. And for some reason id convinced myself that "the cadilac of the sky" was a p57 'bolt. Fail! Mustang all the way.
Redline wins again.

signs of a misspent youth Im afraid

when I was about 14 the scouts introduced an air spotters badge and I was the first scout in the country to get awarded one

Hurricane has a more pronounced cockpit hump and the thunderbolt was a right fat arsed plane compared to the sleek profile of the mustang

thunderbolt

wel you learn something new about old-fashioned planes every day.
Or so the saying goes.

Im just getting into proper photography with my recent purchase of my Canon 450D KIt had some ok results (if a little over exposed)



Then I purchased a EF-S 55-250mm Lense which is much happier

Perhaps you guys could help me a bit with sudden problem I happen to have, you see I'm pretty sure my jaw is here nearby as I just dropped it

Awesome pics, keep them coming

Chris, you have snake branch in your pic

He has some nice videos on that site, hard part is remembering those tips when taking photos...:

Now you mention it Mick...


Didn't include it orig as it's blurred and underexposed, but hey

Woodoo, the drift and bike crash are both superb!

This photo is not mine, I did just found it from google photos search when searching errr... something



But I think photo like that might be quite interesting and of course challenging to take, but we have only those west european hedgehogs that are really afraid of man these days, very difficult to find one to take photos at, especially at winter when they sleep in pile of leaves or something like that. But certainly I need to try to find such at next summer.

I have bats upstairs, but them are too clever to be seen, many times I have tried to take photo of them, but no, they disappear right when I start pointing camera towards them, very disturbing, like they would be camera shy

Lot to improve, shaked camera a bit and moon was quite brightly illuminating sky, good clear weather without moon and I should get quite nice photo from it

Awesome pics Jani, I really want to give that a try, but might wait until it warms up as I'll have to drive to the forest and escape the light pollution I guess

Couple from Sunday at the South Downs Stages, Goodwood.


Shiney thing!!!

It was -15 when I took those photos, no gloves and jacket still open, spend more than 3 hours fiddling with adjustments while my fingers started to stop moving one by one

RS200, very nice Good photos there too, very good sharpness in moving cars, while still capturing movement. Shutter priority and around 1/60s ?

Oh yes, Chris I took those photos within 50 meters from road where are lot of streetlamps, of course there are lot more glow near cities in UK, but give it a go anyway, then you see if pics do have brown or black background

Here it is very much depending from weather if streetlamps are problem or not, sometimes weather is very clear and dry, then those are less of a problem, but I guess it is not very dry in UK at winter as sea is close at all times

The RS200 was gorgeous. It was having huge troubles though, and didn't complete a stage from memory Spot on with technique... I find following the car for a distance before and after the shot helps get it stable.

Those are near street lamps?! Wow, that surprises me. Might give it a go tomorrow then if there isn't any cloud. Tonight I made a spirograph out of a laser, and took pictures of small things

RS200 often has trouble, I think I remember such car (maybe the same?) having trouble before too, well it is a Fix or repair daily

Hmm, Lion of Scotland, but background is all wrong for it to be one pound coin, can't really tell what that is, necklage?

I guess second one being five pounds, you probably would not have tenner in pocket

Very impressive macro shots

First I thought that laser thing was screen saver
