Do you do requests?

Any chance of a pic of the Thruster Microlight?

Hope you have a good day with decent weather and look forward to the pics :D

Sorry, you can't request our attention like that, if you take reasonable pictures you will be commended, if like Tom.com you ask for our praise it will back fire!!!!!!

I would take about 700 to 800 on an average day at an active airfield and then start to edit them firstly in camera then after uploading to the computer. Then I pick the best 40 or 50 and look at uploading them to one of the Image Hosting sites I use! ;)

No we really don't.

My dad had a dark room and his pics were great, photoshop hadn't even been invented then!
