Sorted prop blur & thanks to Jim realise it's better to have a slighlty smaller A/C in the frame than use the lens at full focals, however I NEED a bigger lens :p - just need to convince DT, but I have mentioned them a couple of times :))

Over all I'm fairly pleased with what I've learnt in the 6 weeks I've had my camera :D

Just need to learn a new weather dance to produce some sun!!

Canon 450D and 70-300IS USM lens

At Waddington on the Saturday I was speaking to a rather nice chap next to me. I asked if I could pick his brains as I had only had the camera 2 weeks & bought on the advice of friends [on here]- he told me they couldn't be friends recommending Canon =)) =)) =))

He was a Nikon man!!!

I tried XPs 40D but I knew it would be too heavy for me - I'm such a delicate little thing :p =))

There were some beautiful dramatic clouds around.
