RE: Codes On Aircraft

While the subject of database editing is online, is there any chance of sorting out the designation of aircraft like the Bell 429 which isn't called the GlobalRanger, and the EC725 which is called the Caracal regardless of whether it serves with the French Air Force or Army.

RE: LHR Bedfont Football Field

That's a disgrace, they should be hauled over the coals for trying to charge for photography, what exactly is it costing them to justify charging those prices?

RE: Canon EF24-105 F/4 L First Impressions

Presumably you've tried the lens on a different body? I only ask about the body because my 24-105 doesn't like my 50Ds very much unless its on centre-point focussing and then it works a treat.

RE: Canon EF24-105 F/4 L First Impressions

What camera are you using this lens on?

RE: LHR And Heat-haze

To add to what Mark and Chris says, its not just the road in front of you generating heat, but also the inner perimeter road and the taxiway as well, probably worth waiting now until September before the sun returns to a reasonable height in the sky for nice approach shots in the middle of the day.

I agree with you Gary, it's not easy to judge, but they did.

I hate to do this, as I love the photograph and subject enormously, but I can't help thinking thinking that rules have been rather relaxed for this air-to-air shot. <br><center><font color="#EEEEEE" size="1" face="ARIAL, Helvetica, Geneva"><a href="/open.file/1373686/L/" target="_blank">View Large</...

RE: Rejection "happy" Screeners?

I am intrigued how you know that Thunderbird 1 is "87-0319" seeing as the numbers on the sides of the jet are interchangable and the only way to check which jet is which at that moment is by looking in the cockpit. But of course we screeners are 'sloppy'  <img src="/discussions/graphics/smilies...

Heat Haze is worst when you get an area of concrete between you and your subject, if there is a taxyway or even a runway in front of you then the subject is behind that, kiss goodbye to your pictures...

RE: Is There A Way To Save This One?

I am intrigued by now that was taken at 1/25th of a second, I would have thought that an aircraft travelling at about 150/160mph at that point would have produced far more movement, and probably a more blurred aircraft...not a critisism, merely an observation...

Heathaze is one of the worst hazards of this hobby and its effects seem to ruin more digital pictures than film pictures. The problem is that then people submit photos to A.net, they don't even consider the problem, and then wonder why sharpening the picture just makes it look even worse. Shooters n...

I would not normally do this, but here goes nothing.

As a short addition. Here in the UK, we have a specially widened runway at Manston in Kent, the runway is just over 2,000 metres long, but its more than three times the width of a normal runway, something like 180m-200m wide and was designed for wheels-up foam landings. The airfield is still open, b...

RE: Jordanian A340 Towed From LHR 27L

I watched this aircraft landing yesterday, it seemed to do a very awkward looking control adjustment just seconds before landing.
