RE: Former A.Netter Kieron747 Has Passed Away

Kieron was one of the nicest guys I ever met online. We had planned so many times to meet at one of the UK meets. Always postponed it for later. Goes to show that one should not always postpone such things. At some point, there may be no 'later'... <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviati...

RE: Tablet Computing & Photography

Using a tablet for reviewing photos is not much different from reviewing them on a laptop - only that many laptops may have even better displays than most tablets. Of course, you get a better impression from the tablet than from the camera screen. But it's still not reliable, and many pictures will ...

RE: Spotting At MAN On Thursday 22 Feb

The pub is easy to reach from the terminals, just 10 minutes by foot down the perimeter road. It is not the best location for spotting during daytime, though, as the sun will get around the runway only towards late afternoon. So over the day, your shots would be backlit. Same for the visitor park, t...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet - keep your camera cool! If you expose your camera to direct sunlight, it will heat up, which will lead to significant more noise on the sensor.
