I had a pretty good day at Duxford yesterday. At the moment, I'm quite glad I haven't yet spent nearly £600 on a new lens! Even this shot of the BBMF Dakota, taken on completely the wrong shutter speed (it took me by surprise when I'd been taking shots of the Sptifire with a very low shutter...

I have a D3200, which I am currently using with a Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens. It generally does the trick, but it does seem to lose quality at lengths much over 200-250mm. As I enjoy aviation photography, and I attend a couple of events each year at IWM Duxford where the display line is not only...

My first attempt at lunar shooting tonight. Sky wasn't fully dark, so not ideal I guess, but I don't think these are too bad for a first go?

Taken today at Bruntingthorpe

And one of the OFMC's P-51D Mustang "Ferocious Frankie"

I've already posted these on my thread in the Q&A section, but I guess this is a better home for them........so please excuse me for spamming the boards hehehe Taken on a wingtip-to-wingtip experience out of the Imperial War Museum at Duxford a couple of weeks ago, Spitfire MkIX "Spirit of Kent"

And a couple more that I'm happy with

So, finally, after another two months, we got up alongside the Spitfire today. What an amazing experience, worth the wait and experience. "Spirit of Kent" looked so beautiful and graceful in her natural element. I took many, many pics, but this one has to be my favourite

Morning all, Getting very, very excited now, as on Saturday, weather-permitting, I should be doing a wingtip-to-wingtip flight alongside a Spitfire! This is the whole reason why I upgraded to a DSLR, and why I've been getting as much practice in as I can. I've just taken delivery of a new...

OK, so the composition maybe needs work, but I do love the aesthetics of these two shots I took yesterday

the 35mm turned up today, so I've taken a couple of quick snaps. excuse how dirty my wheels are!

I think I made a mistake when I bought my kit in going for the cheap, ie. non-IS/VC Tamron zoom lens, as I'm struggling at the moment to get clear, sharp shots of moving subjects at max zoom. So, I think an IS version would be the way to go. Looking at either Tamron 28-300mm or the 16-300mm, as...

Taken at yesterday's Spring Car show at Duxford IWM. One thing I know myself, is that a slower shutter speed would have helped with an impression of movement with the aerial shots. Was at max zoom though, so tried to make it as quick as possible to reduce the effects of camera shake with my...

I'm currently bidding on one of these on Ebay. Looks like it should be an ideal lens to get me the shallow depth of field I want on some shots - the standard 18-55mm lens that came in my camera kit doesn't go shallow enough? Seems a good lens for the price?

I'd worried I was having a backfocus issue, but having done a test on that over the weekend, I'm fairly confident any issues I'm having are either down to my ability or the settings I'm using.

Taken a few weeks ago on the first real chance I had to have a play with my new D3200. New to proper DSLR photography, so I'm feeling my way by trial and error, picking up a few tips from a pro mate of mine.

So far, this is the picture I'm most satisfied with. Feedback welcome!

Hey everybody. I'm relatively new to the DSLR world, having recently upgraded to a D3200 from my previous Fuji Finepix bridge camera. It always took a half decent shot, but was very zoom-limited, and with a Spitfire flight experience coming up in a couple of weeks time, I felt the need to...
