Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
Hi can anyone help please. I would like to take my disabled brother to RIAT next year, he can walk a 20 -30 yards but will need his buggy to get around on. I see the disabled enclosure is in the Blue area but it says the Blue car park is not suitable for the disabled. Can anyone tell me where the d...

Re: Air Legend Airshow - Melun Villaroche
That's a fabulous set Steve, if I had to pick a favourite, it would be number 3, but they all brighten up a dull, grey day.

Re: canon EF Lens repair
Thanks, Stagger2 and Thoughtful_Flyer for your replies, it’s unfortunate that we live in a throw away society and because of that we are reaping the benefits in terms of cost, Environmental impact etc. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my life is that we as humans keep on re-inventing the wh...

canon EF Lens repair
Hi all, I have a canon EF 24-70 mm AF IS lens which has an auto focus issue, although I have been using it on MF for some time, though I tried it earlier today and it appeared to be working, though I couldn’t be certain, so it may be an intermittent issue. Following a stroke, I have difficulty now w...

Re: Interesting Internet
Yes, good news, but what are they going to do when the RAF are playing with their lightnings? Fly kites off the decks of two empty carriers? that will frighten the life out of China and Russia, never mind an increasingly right leaning Argentina rebuilding their Air Force, intent of flexing their mus...

Re: MAAM's WWII Weekend
I agree with Alpha Delta, its a great set and its number 5 for me too but I also like 20. For me I would be content to put up with the long queues just to see 'Fifi'

Re: Air Show Radom 2023 (Friday, Saturday)
great set Wisnia and I love the processing too. personally I'm a fan of tight crops, if used sparingly, it's still an impressive set,as a matter of interest what software have you used for processing?

I hear that the RAF Regiment have been issued with catapults and sheets of paper with instructions to fire spitballs at any drones.

Re: Back Button Focusing
it does take some practice to get used to it but once you have used BBF for any action including airshows you will end up asking yourself why you've not done this before. I use it exclusively now.

if you are the only person that you want to impress with your photos the I think you already have the answer. the only people that I like to have in my aircraft photos are re-enactors or crew members.

Re: Airshow Copyright Questions
as far as I am aware the photographer owns the copyright of any photographs taken from a public place, whereas most events including airshows often make it a condition of entry that photos can not be used for commercial purposes, this is not the same as copyright. The photographer still retains the ...

Re: No Luchtmachtdagen 2021
I have a feeling that this signals the decline of the big public airshows. I think the UK is likely to follow this format with fewer and fewer big shows.
