Ah, you've got the 52 f/1.2. I'm very tempted. One of my colleagues has one on order. Might get a chance to try it soon. With your delicate interpersonal skills I'm sure that you'll find a real person to shoot very soon... Chris On 23 March 2014 23:31, Bill wrote: > Warning, no cats, but also n

Re: PESO Flying Rat, European Version

Very nice. I find the light bit of water at the top a little distracting - would it be better with that cropped? Not sure of the flying rat reference. They're much more elegant than that! Chris On 23 March 2014 17:54, Paul Stenquist wrote: > Shot on a lake this afternoon. K-3 DA* 60-250/4 with t

Re: OT, photos of low level flying

Thanks Larry. Your confidence is rewarded. I remember seeing the legendary (and quite mad) Don Bullock flying a B17 at zero feet at an airshow in the 70s. He demolished a B25 and 6 people's lives at Biggin Hill, after which very low flying was banned for ever... Chris On 21 March 2014 07:19, Larr

GESO: David Bailey Exhibition

Bob W and I went to the National Portrait Gallery showing of Bailey's photographs. It was excellent and do see it if you're in London and get a chance. Iconic photos of his time as a fashion and rock photographer, many family shots and some recent stuff too. Here's a small gallery from the day inc

You're doing some good close-up work at the moment Dan. Liked the nearly-daffodil too. Daffs have pretty well finished round here (Southern England) and magnolias are coming to an end. We had a warm winter and spring seemed to come early. Hawthorn is blossoming near to me - that doesn't usually ha
