I don't have a Z8 (canon user) but i would think that the IS in it will help immensely. Don't forget to wear comfy shoes, a hat and take sun cream just in case we ever see the sun!

You will need a lens for static aircraft on the ground, 24-70mm or similar, maybe a wide angle. There will be loads of people so dont expect to get nice clear photos without passers by in them. I wouldn't use a monopod for in flight aircraft the just get in the way and with fast jets you won't...

Certainly is, we are just happy that it finished now. I'm sure the spare money will get spent somewhere , we've got 2 boys who no doubt will want a hand when it comes to buying their first house. We need to get rid of them first! one still at home at 28 , the other 25 was living in Nottingham...

After 33 years and 1 month we finally made the last payment on our mortgage. Now more money for camera gear, just don't tell the misses!

I've just spent far too much time with virgin media on chat. But manged to get my package down to £78 per month, they wanted £116!. That's bb at 350mb, phone, 2 tv boxes with mega tv and Inc TNT sport. Mind you it was hard work to get it at that price.

Just a couple of snaps of our old girl Bella taken this morning in Ampthill Park Beds for a nice walk. Taken on my phone as i didn't have my camera with me. She's not walking as far as she used to, but still nice to manage a couple of miles in a lovely country park. 20240124_114543 by Doug, on...
