    Nice shots, especially like the use of the slower shutter speeds. It was good to meet you at the show.

    Photo taken during the ARC/HFL open day June 2005.
    There always seems to be a bloke in the corner of your pictures with his arms crossed……..do you think he gets a bit cold or something? 😀

    I don’t get out much, and therefore feel the cold 😀 !

    As for Merlin 70’s pics……the truth is out that Roobarb is actually a cartoon character after all! :diablo:

    As with many Warbird and Classic aircraft flying today. I guess you’ll all look away when this machine flies past at an airshow then?

    Well I for one will look forward to seeing her in the air!

    Only three of us Forumites planning to be at sunny Shoreham this weekend then…. Was it something I said?

    Or is it just the clash of dates with Biggen and Old Warden?

    I suppose we will have to try to and post some decent photos next week then… 🙁 Or maybe we’ll just keep them to ourselves 😀

    Was tempted Paul, But Biggin on Sat and OW on Sun for me.

    Darren,

    Chippy is going well – we fitted the engine at the weekend, and I am currently painting the cowlings. One wing is ready to fit – the other is a little way behind.

    I am currently on the scrounge for engine bay parts; so if anyone has any, then do let me know!

    Bruce

    Excellent, it sounds as if things are moving along well. I will try and pay another visit soon, and see her in the flesh.

    As Nick has stated, a short zoom like the 28-135 is what most of our air to air photographs are captured with. Having spoken to a few well known specialists in this subject before now, they have said the same. IS is not crucial (and is not used by many pro’s anyway). The 70-200 (or simular range) is however sometimes used for more up close and personal shots.

    It would be nice to see the temp scheme in place for the Duxford show as this would be great PR for the project, but I guess that also takes away the debut of the scheme in Malta?

    Oh, and you can get inks from other sources, which are much cheaper. I haven’t had any problems with 3rd party inks. I use KC-Inks.

    For true photographic quality I would not recomend third party inks. Yes they are cheaper, and yes than can give average quality, but they can also block nozzels. I have done many tests over the last year of various inks under strick test conditions for reviews in my magazine, and the brand inks ALWAYS come out best.

    For cheap, good quality photo printing you’re better off going to Photobox or other similar services. Cheap inkjet printers won’t match the quality of photobox and will consume ink at a rate of knots.

    Rob

    I have to agree with Rob that cheap printers do not give good results. For £130, however (or cheaper if you shop around) you can get the Epson R320 which is very capable for the price, and will give photographic quality A4 prints (providing the camera quality is 5-Mp or higher at full resolution). Paper and ink is however not cheap. Photobox are one of the best on-line printers, but the results are sometimes disapointing when compared to a good inkjet print. One advantage of the on-line services, is that you do not have to worry about getting the print settings correct.
