Nice shots

I trust you enjoyed playing with your new toy.

[Duxford_Eagles]

Thanks, Nick. Yes I did.

However, it's highlighted a surprising amount of peripheral distortion on my 17-40 lens that wasn't visible on my 10D. It's a very nice toy though.

Nice shots Rob. What's the new toy? 20D, or something a bit more expensive?

[Duxford_Eagles]

Thanks, Dan.

I didn't think that the 20D offered a great deal more than my 10D and since it was bonus time I opted for an ex-demo 1D mk2. It's a complicated beast and I'm going to need a bit of practice with it. It's been a long time since the end of last year's airshow season and I'm very rusty.

The touch is still there though Rob. Nice job. There is something that tingles the spine a little seeing a Lancaster, at night, with light shining on it. Magical!

Looking forward to you and Nick at Shuttleworth. Trying to make it for the first one.

It is indeed a superb camera. cant wait for the new season to start.

[Duxford_Eagles]

Thanks for the kind words PPP, I'm looking forward to another good Shuttleworth season. The last one was pretty special for me.
