Re: Image stabilisation help

It can help but in some instances make matters worse I very rarely use it when shooting aircraft. If I do I would only use sport or active mode for planning

Re: Firecrest

Thanks all. As with any wildlife its more about Field craft that normally will reward you with a good photo for me that's part of the challenge.

Short-eared owls

This year could be a bumper year for these stunning birds with some fifty birds being reported coming in over the east coast over one weekend. I've managed to catch up with a few over the last week or two. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53329033994_dbf617d0c5_b.jpg Homing in on the target by ia...

Helired, I believe that the 'flying days' are still free to members. I agree other benefits have been trimmed though.
When the membership started the end of year finale was free to members.

Re: Duxford Dates 2024

I just feel it isn't the same value for money it was when it started. Back then all flying days were free to members and as said you don't get members event's or cafe discount any more. And a small thing i know but members got infield parking on flying days.
