    there are some superb shots there with only a couple that look ropey a thing to remember is some subjects conditions just don’t suit hdr ( pretty much all the vulcan shots fall into that cattegory ) i think for my prefrences a normal shot would have worked better

    as previously mentioned ..watch those horizons… i have a tripod with a spirit level but carefull observation works as well

    the chipmonk is my favourite closely followed by the mono spitfire , the chipmonk would benefit from being a little darker and a little more saturation as it looks a little washed out

    hdr can be awkward to get right and also judging when to use it but when used right it can be superb

    regarding the green cast that you seem to be paranoid about

    the easiest way is to check your whites look correct if whites are correct with no cast pretty much all the photo will be as white is all colour in equal measures

    i used to have a fancy colour cast meter in my colour darkroom for working out colour filtration i quite often ditched it in favour of eyeball and my own colour mixing judgement like adding cyan to get rid of an orange cast

    getting the whites right seems to be a rough **** way as sometimes there can be a cast to your whites but it will work in most cases

    the white on the polish insignia looks ok to me so they are in the correct ball park for colour filtration

    the way i’d look at it is that the more you interfere with an engineered structure the more streangth and integrity you take away from it !!

    i liken it to cabriolet versions of saloon cars the roof is taken away wich removes most of the engineered structures rigidity making it necessary to add streangthening in key stress areas all over the remaining body shell

    but the original streangth can never be recovered fully

    my guess is that the aircraft companies have teams of engineers much more qualified than you or i that did look into wether inspection panels were worth including for the estimated end of life period for the aircraft and it was deemed not necesssary !!

    humans in general SH we are not as smart as we like to think we are !! we are pretty insignificant in the larger picture of things

    and will only either go extinct or evolve eventualy like all the others before on the planet

    all we are at the end of the day is sophisticated monkeys !!

    we can come up with theories and whilst they may go some way to explaining things they are still only theories !!

    i don’t get it !! after the many millions this charachter has cost for the years of incarceration , living costs , appeal costs , lawyers and everything that goes with the whole affair

    then people complain about a reasonably cheap last meal !! up to him if he eats it or not !!

    all i’m concerned about is an evil person is off the street after that point i realy couldn’t care less wether they are dead or alive

    but i would err on the side of keeping everyone alive as our investigators police etc arn’t exactly unknown for making mistakes and it is something with no return if they do screw up !!

    how true , it is amazing how multi cultured the RAF was during the war so we have to remember there may be many descendants overseas with very limmited english that have very valid points to put accross

    the big difrence should be that we are not so arrogant that we decide to take the p*** instead of taking the time to read between the lines !!

    thanks Canadair, glad you said that coz i was there with my hands “operating the contols” last night trying to explane it to my misses. she was far more interestd in watching her recorded episodes of Eastenders for some reason lol.

    bloke sat in his armchair when his mrs walks in , she has a busted lip , black eye , bloodied nose , her hair is everywhere , dress ripped and is generaly dishevelled

    she says ” look at the state of me i’ve fallen downstairs and you can’t even be bothered to ask how the hell i am !!”

    the husband replies ” sorry love i thaught eastenders was finnishing on the telly !!”
