VARIOUS CONINGSBY 31ST JANUARY

Postby Last Lightning » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:22 am

Spent the day at Coningsby with a few mates. Started the day with a tour of the BBMF then the rest of the day bimbling around in various spots.

I will try not to bore you all with too many shots of Typhoons, infact i'm not going to...just the one tiffy shot :( :) :( :)

First off our guide around the BBMF

They are some rather lovely photo's there! :ymapplause:

Perhaps you wouldn't mind, as Mayfly says, letting us know what kit you use and what settings you used to take the shots? :)

No meanness intended so long as good photo opportunities are provided :-SS :-SS :)

As for the rest of you asking what gear and settings I use
Canon EOS50D
Canon 30-300mm lens (black)

Settings various P,TV,AV, sometimes even auto :YMSICK: :ymblushing: but always shooting RAW

Thing is its a new camera that I have only had for a month so i'm still playing until I get a good set up.......

hope this helps #-O :-SS

Sorry to be a pest but Canon don't do a 30-300mm. Is it a Tamron or Sigma 28-300mm?

Just interested as the photo's are amazingly sharp! :D
