As Erich pointed out it is all about the avatar! As long as you dont change your avatar we will all stay right here.



Just kidding brother, good to have you back.

 

[trackend]

Cheers mates
I really missed you all even Les and his tins of whoop ass. IMO its still the best aviation and general military chit chat site on the web.
long may it reign.

Good to see you around again Lee!

 

[trackend]

Thanks Eric that stealth from above shot on your 10,500 thread is a cracker.
I didnt think you could get much better with your pics but holy macaroni being out of the loop for a while and seeing your newer photos has proved me well wrong. Just one question, do you shoot through perspex/plexi glass or do you hang your camera outside.

love the avatar by the way, now you know what made the British Empire.
5000 Royal Marines with faces like that hoving into view is enough to put the s***s up anyone.

 

[evangilder]

hehe, yeah those facial expressions cracked me up and I am a fan of Rowan Atkinson.

I have done a number of gear upgrades in the last year or so. I now have a D80 camera body also and I picked up the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. The 18-200 is a REALLY sharp lens and I love it. The VR has 2 modes that really work well.

For the Stealth shot, I had the 18-200 on the D50 and shot that through the perspex. If it had been possible to shoot through open air, I would have done that. But the only way to have been able to do that would have been to open the door, which is not a good idea in flight!

 

[trackend]

I've had a look at the D80 (although i will stick with my D50) it looks a nice bit of kit and the write ups give it top marks for the price, Out of curiosity how much did the lens cost, over this side of the pond it seems to be around £400 ($800 roughly).
