In addition, it is also interesting looking at the most recent Google Earth imagery (May 5, 2017) of YMX, as you can see a WOW Air A330 parked where the terminal building used to be, and what seems like a go-kart track covering the other two building footprints. There is indeed a go-kart track ther...
Jump to postHi, What I'm finding with the high density display is that it really masks imperfections when viewing at 100%, so make sure you are looking at your images at at least 200% when scrutinizing, sharpening etc.. Also, have a look at your finished edit on a large, low density display just to make sure y...
Jump to postIt's just so inconsistent in many ways. I'm thinking it's my impatience and not taking the time to learn it properly! AF is in servo mode. I have never nor would I think I could ever shoot using Live View. The thing is that you get those two, three, maybe four or five good shots when you go out and ...
Jump to postI have IS set on with both lenses. Although (if I am correct) those lenses have a panning mode (Mode 2 on the 70-300; auto-panning detection on the 55.250) I would try to leave IS off. If they haven't a panning mode, then it is a must to shoot without IS. I have indeed been using mode 2 on the 70-3...
Jump to postWhat's the shutter speed your camera is picking? It sounds more like motion blur that's causing the problems, not an actual focus issue. When I shoot animals and aircraft, I generally stay in shutter priority mode and let the camera figure out ISO and aperture. I generally stick with shutter speeds...
Jump to postI have very recently gotten back into the our hobby after over ten years away. My most success in the past was with a Nikon D70 in 2005 - 2006.

Jump to postLooks like the new Bangkok Airport at Suvarnabhumi has finally announced an official timetable.
