Re: ID Question - Miami Beach

Thanks Peter. It was the lack of an engine cowling that threw me off the scent. Any idea why it's been taken off?

ID Question - Miami Beach

I saw this recently trailing an advertising banner over Miami Beach. What is it? Of course had the wrong lens with me so it's quite heavily cropped, so not the greatest quality photo. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53592820084_195708c189_o.jpg _C1A7671 by Andrew Shaw , on Flickr Many thanks, Andy

Re: Topic of the week#94 Favourite place

For me, it’s got to be Oshkosh. The scale and variety of aircraft to be seen at AirVenture takes some beating. After some 50 years in the hobby I finally made it in 2018, and managed another visit in 2022. [url][/https://flic.kr/p/2jpncXB https://flic.kr/p/N7x57j https://flic.kr/p/2jpCr1k https://fl...

Re: Head Spinning - Newbie DSLR Purchase

Is that your budget for both a body and lens, or just the body? In principle, buy the best lens you can afford as it should last for years; bodies come and go. I've used Canon for something like 50 years, and I'd suggest a used Canon 5D IV from a reputable dealer (MPB or WEX come to mind but there a...

Re: Canon RF 200-800mm

I also read Ken Rockwell's reviews before buying kit - one of the best reviewers around IMHO. I'm very happy with my RF100-500mm lens which I use for both aviation and wildlife. If you're interested there are lots of examples in my Flickr account.
