Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread

I notice the Me 262 (not sure why the commentator pronounced it mee) has no swastika on the tail. I think I've read that they are banned from being displayed in certain countries including the US and I think the 109 I saw at Biggin Hill (not a Buchon) in about 2014 had a German flag on the tail lik...

Re: Carrying camera as hand luggage

Camera gear always goes with me on board, no way is it going in the hold. I do have a rucksack which fits under the seat in front of me if the overhead lockers are too full. In your place I would decide in advance what I wanted to photograph and then start to plan which lenses I would want with me. ...

Re: New Canon cameras

Looking at the description of the R50 it would appear to be for the "influenzer" type. Or are they now called "content creators"?

Re: Eclipse

Thank you. I heard about it firstly on the radio, but looking at the sky at the time it was really all clouded over. Later there were some breaks which allowed me to get the photo. I think there is another partial eclipse in March 2023. Or if you are not in a hurry, then there´s a full eclipse in ab...

Eclipse

I tried my hand at getting a photo of the partial eclipse of the sun this morning. I used my Sony A7c with a Tamron 70/300 lens and an ND filter. As you can imagine, there was a lot to cropping to do, but I´m satisfied with the result.

Lufthansa B789

Lufthansa´s newest toy was in BER on the 17.10.22 to be given the name "Berlin", it replaces the A380 which had that name. Seen here taking off for Paderborn. Also to be seen in the background is an A310 of the Spanish Air Force (T.2-1) https://abload.de/img/65ecdp.jpg https://abload.de/im...

Whats your budget, I couldnt afford a lowepro bag so went for this on Amazon

It could be a little firmer round the sides & the dividers but for £50 its done me well for 4 years+
An invite for thieves with that name at the bottom I would have thought.

Re: Malta Airshow

I'd say anyone who would fly to see an airshow at the moment needs their head looking at. And I´d say it is up to the individual to decide whether or not they want to take a holiday in Malta at the end of September. I disagree - it's totally irresponsible to fly while this pandemic is at large. But...
