PIK Tuesday – to get used to new toy

Well, popped down to PIK yesterday to play with a Kodak P850 I got and try to get used to it. Got some good shots and some not so good but of course my REAL camera was with me too with slide film.

One thing that’s a bit footery is the viewfinder which is one of these ones like a TV monitor. When you zoom in and out it goes out of focus and back in so it’s not the easiest thing to use for anything moving and changing relative size. Anyway, here’s a handful of shots.

There were FOUR training yesterday. Jet 2, EasyJet and me and my friend both training on the new cameras.

First shot, the North American parked up I shot because I liked the backdrop of Arran. Not easy while being buffeted around in a strong cold wind… but still looking at haze coming from tarmac and fuel.

Next one, the tornado that diverted in… taxying in with fire cover.

And then a couple of one-wheel willies. That EZY sure wobbled over when setting down.

The C130 … well…. still trying to get used to the zooming and that daft CCTV viewfinder so unfortunately missed the better shots at good angle coming toward me. This one worked out OK though.

They’ve probably lost a bit in the resizing to get them suitable for this forum.

We’ll get there!
