There are some particularly impressive shots there John well done.

Thank you Dom

nice shots Jon, it's bringing back lots of great memories from when we went in 2007... an incredible place - just wish I knew more about photography then! still always an excuse to go back!

A quick one from today then. I have taken over 2000 shots today - i just get far too carried away on the day and the hate myself for all teh time i have to spend at the PC sorting them all out. (Read deleting shots )

LOL! That sounds about right. Before I head off again for the evening. Some test photos from the day

High res to check for noise can be found here - http://www.flickr.com …5/sets/72157624​283828702/

Now that is one promising bit of kit ~ certainly seems that imposes a new eye & discipline to togging!

Well, Vegas seemed like the place to get this done finally...

Excuse the glare, Em was taking the photos.

Ink'd by a very talented young artist at Starlight King Ink (Mario Barths studio).
It definately will not be to most peoples tastes, it is a Mexican Day of the Dead Sugar Skull, very traditional style of tattoo and custom designed by the artist. It is nice because I know it is unique and no one else anywhere in the world will have this same design.
It is the start of a 3/4 length sleeve that will be carried on most likely by Seven Sins in Horley or a studio in Chelmsford, both have artists that do fantastic traditional work.

Something I have wanted for a long time and Vegas just seemed to be the right place to start it off. There will be one more sugar skull at the top of my arm eventually, and as Em and I plan on going to Vegas again in 2012 I would like the same guy (if possible) to do that and finish it off.


Not bad, not bad at all mate.

I have never seen the attraction of getting ink (I surmise some folk still fail to realise it is like buying a dog ~ not just for Xmas but for life )but that is one heck of a bit of artwork, craftman at work!

Ok a few shots from today. Don't think I have ever shot an airshow with such changeable sky as today. One minute blue sky then the next black as the ace of spades, straight from camera as not got time to mess with them as got to go out and play a concert now. Will try and post some more later if they are any good

Now this one has most promise for PPing, why? Because the rest of the team are in the background ~ just feel that makes the "totality" of the synchro pair better

This is my effort for today I've been out with the welding glass again I know the composition is not great as I change the focal length a bit to much once the glass like the numpty I am. Anyway the main thing is does the processing work?

Oddly ethereal, almost sinister ~ amazing what layer of almost opaque glass can do ~ well sorted there mate!

Never seen drifting live, so pity to have missed the opp today though I would not have missed the weather by the sound of it Nice capture but edge treatment/vignetting is not to my taste reminds me of light leakage affecting good old 35mm film

I quite like the white vignette thing myself. Not everyones cup of tea though i would agree.

heres a shot taken at 1/20th -

Flash Git! Grrrrrrrr!

I can see my domestic bliss being shattered again -

"Darling!"

"Now what?"

"Have you seen the new 70-200 f2.8L MkII?"

"What about my new Rolex?"

End of conversation.

Sorry, you are in the thread that makes people spend, it seems

Nice shot, devil's elbow? If so it's my favourite spot at Lydden.

Like both those shots Rob, great sense of movement in both

Thank you Lee We are planning on a return trip already, maybe 4 days in Vegas, a night at the Grand Canyon National Park and then a few days in San Francisco. Vegas is like my Mecca

Cheers, I think that the polarizer added a extra something to it as the sky didn't have the green tinge you get without it.

Perhaps will rethink using the vignette

Those were both on the 70-200 f/4 IS.

nice shot Rob, just needs the the dust bunnies sorting now ; )

Cannot see the first shot, removed from Flickr?
