Have to say.......Although I'm at last getting somewhat used to the new site, IMHO it's still far inferior to what we used to have.
Jump to postSteady on a bit there Karl, that's rather harsh. You certainly know how to kick a bloke when he's down!
Jump to postOf the few photos that I took recently at Old Sarum, the one that I thought most likely to be rejected was the one of the Eurocopter G-NIVA, but I thought what the hell, I'll give it a try! Goes to show you never can tell!
Jump to postAnd there was me thinking that was one of my better efforts! But what do I know?!
Jump to postI know that this is going to sound very silly, and I apologise in advance, but I've just (I think!) made my first upload for quite some time, but I can't find 'my uploads' or similar anywhere. How do I view my upload?!

Sorry G-CIVP, it was Julien that I met on Saturday. Apologies for any confusion.
Alex
It was also my particular pleasure to met you and your delightful wife or girlfriend? at Feltham Park on Saturday, interesting to learn that she and I both love Tuscany and the beautiful cities of Florence and Siena, I'm not only interested in aircraft! I've printed off a few of the shots of the A38...
Jump to postSadly we have to live with these incidents. Thankfully, thanks to the very good work of the police and security forces they only happen rarely.
Jump to postYou should be able to walk to Feltham Park from Hatton Cross tube station. Down Fagg's Road, then on down Harlington Road West from where you will come to Feltham Park on your right.
Jump to postThis winter light thing at Heathrow is all very well, but I've been waiting ever since about November for a sunny Sunday (only day I can make it) and no luck up to now such is the weather in this country.
Jump to postI would go for the D500 with 300/2.8+1.4 Converter where necessary to complement your superb 70/200.
Jump to postFor me the main problem with the grandstand is that you can't stand up (unless you're lucky enough to get on the very top row) and I can't pan the camera effectively from a seated position, it's just not the natural thing to do IMO. And If you dare to stand up (unless you are on the top row) you wil...
Jump to postI use back-button all the time now, just seems natural and the normal thing to do.
Jump to postWish I'd never mentioned it now!

Just when I thought that things couldn't get much worse, I've just noticed that A.net is using the expression 'photogs'. Argh!!!!!
Jump to postWith this ever lengthening hiatus period, I would think that A.net must be truly hemorrhaging visitors. Have to say that I find myself in the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' faction. A few minor tweaks would have been useful no doubt, but IMHO this top down, complete and utter revision was not nece...
Jump to postI've had to give up, so frustrating! Tried several times. Get as far as 'Airline', but can't input 'Untitled' as the field turns grey, end of story, nightmare!
Jump to postI've been trying to upload a photo of a home build, namely a Skyranger NYNJA 912S (1) manufactured by a Mr. J. Mundy seen recently at Old Warden without success. It seems that the standard entries, manufacturer, generic, etc., do not allow for this type of up-load. Any thoughts?
Jump to postAlthough I've got over 4,000 shots on here, I've only just leant from airkas1 above what 'personnel' means. How embarrassing is that?!
Jump to postIf it were me, I'd be doing nothing until the D500 becomes available!
Jump to postThose examples are great shots, but those such as the Qantas A380 and the AW-139 would be quite impossible for the vast majority (I should think) of us to take, we just don't get those opportunities. Great to see, however!
Jump to postIt's complete nonsense to say that it's only worth taking photos at Heathrow in the winter. Take a look at the data base to see photos taken in June and July.
Jump to postI agree, sounds like D-lighting. I had a similar problem which took me a little time to figure out. There's nothing in the camera instructions (at least not that I could find) that advised that having the D-lighting feature switched on was likely to cause halo problems. Anyway, that's what it was, a...
Jump to postSearch engine not working. Apparently there are no photos in the database taken at Heathrow!
Jump to postI'd like to appeal a recent rejection, but don't appear to have received the usual e-mail.
Jump to postI'm no expert, but I think that I've read somewhere that VR would not work whilst panning?
Jump to postSuch is the paranoia in this country that I get quite nervous taking photos anywhere near children.
Jump to postStrangely enough, I've seen several group reviews of D600 class cameras in magazines recently, and not one of them has mentioned the problems that the D600 has been having, indeed they all say what a fine camera it is.
Jump to postThanks Peter, glad that you had a good time over here. Old Warden is a great place as you say, but they have been unlucky with windy conditions recently, in fact they were unable to fly the older aircraft during my last two visits. I've been passing Tangmere for a number of years on my way to and fr...
Jump to postThe 80-200/2.8 AFS is accepted to be one of the sharpest lenses that Nikon ever made.
Jump to postI think I'd appreciate some help with Bournemouth Airport too, maybe there's some viewing locations that I'm not aware of!
Jump to postRather difficult to find anywhere to park either end of Bournemouth Airport runway.
Jump to postI'm very local to Bournemouth Airport, and I agree that you'd be best to give it a miss this time. There used to be a very convenient viewing area adjacent to the museum that used to be there close to the runway which has now moved, and the viewing area has gone with it. The repositioned viewing are...
Jump to postI'm using AF-C. I think you're right, single-point AF is probably best for the reasons you gave. I'll give that a try. Thanks.
Jump to postFollowing on from Brice Johnson's query, I'm also having a problem with my camera, namely a Nikon D300s in that I'm getting a lot less in-focus images then I did with my trusty D200. These are ground to air shots and taxiing shots in good light mainly using an 80-200mm AFS Nikkor. Would anybody stil...
Jump to postThat really doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If you were shooting at a minimum of 1/2500 at f8 on a cloudy day I would have thought that you'd be getting seriously under-exposed results never mind any other problems.
Jump to postI note that a recent upload (very good shot) does not have the full date shown, just August 2013. The photogragher must know the full date, but for whatever reason has chosen to show it. Should this be a reason to reject? A minor point I agree, just wonder what the criteria is?
Jump to postMy shot of Mustang N51KB 'Ain't Misbehavin' taken on Sept. 29th, 2007 at Columbus, Ohio has had over 53,000 views. It's nothing special, and I can't figure out why it's had so many views. Any ideas?
Jump to postI really can't see the problem. The image does need a slight degree of levelling. If you want it on on the D/B why not just carry out the adjustment and re-submit? And please don't tell me to shut up as well, it's not very polite!
Jump to postI've just taken my very last cassette of slide film Fuji in this case, in fact they may be the last company still making the stuff? I had a special reason for using this film which I won't bore you all with. It's really not viable any more because of the cost, besides that of the cost of the film it...
Jump to postHave you been as grumpy on here as you are sometimes on UKAR Derek?! Anyway, I'm enjoying your oldies!
Alex
Sorry to hear that. I assume that he was Polish, or of Polish extraction?
Jump to postWhen I first started taking photos at Old Sarum, near Salisbury, my gut instinct was that the grass landing strip was out of level by quite a bit. There were no buildings in the background, so no verticals, just rolling hills. When I up-loaded my first few shots from there they were rejected for 'le...
