Thanks Bob... I'm not much of a plane geek but I do like shots of the Vulcan.

#26 what's happening here? sound barrier?

Lots of tightly framed shots there, did you have to crop?
I can also see the noise where you pulled up the underexposed parts

I like #9, not so much the building though.

#26 what's happening here? sound barrier?

lol no. Just condensation forming in the low pressure vortex created by the high angle of attack.

some nice shots there, Bob.

[Gerrard]

Great shots as always! #7 explains all the traffic I got stuck in!

[GoNz0]

got to love the Vulcan

[brammers]

Some really nice shots here.

I dunno if you're going to like this suggestion or not - but time to ditch the 20Ds? I've held my tongue, but I'm noticing a lot of noise in your shots - especially where it looks like you've pushed the shadows. #1 in the helicopter cockpit, #2 in the hull of both boats, #5 all over the parachutist, #6 in the tyres etc etc. Maybe 1 40D and keep the other as backup? 1x 40D and 1x50D seems to be a great combo to me - it's like having a 1Ds and a 1D in APS-C.

Nice pics there Bob! I remember seeing the Vulcan at Farnborough 2008 and it was a lovely sight to behold. Such a graceful aircraft. I would post some pictures but I was still using a film camera at the time!!

The best display I have seen was the Mig29 OVT at Farnborough 2006 though with its 3D thrust vectoring:

Bob you are the GOD of panning

[YorkieBen]

3, 5, 9, 12, 21 are my favs

I wouldn't be surprised that no 9 wouldn't sell to that hotel, a great advert for the hotel

And PLEASE leave the exif in there, as an inexperienced photographer I find it a great help to see people's settings!

[Bobster]

thanks for the comments guys

Brammers, id be happy to take a 40 and 50 if you want to purchase them for me

Hardly the god of panning, but not bad

you're the 2nd person tonight to mention selling #9 Yorkie

[brammers]

40Ds 550GPB now, what's one of your 20Ds worth, 200? We all know it's the tog not the gear etc, but I'd say your 20Ds are holding you back a little. You take some very nice shots, but occasionally I can see where you've tweaked the shadows and go 'ugh!' Will it make any difference to your keepers rather than the shots you stick on Hexus? You're in a better position to answer that than me, and I don't know the economics of your business, but it's something I've noticed.

I'm no expert but they look like very very nice pictures , i especially like picture 8, and the way the boat is blurred behind
