    There are hundreds more stats i could bore you with but i wont, but i will tell you that i can even tell the screen resoloution of the pcs or handheld devices the website is viewed on and i will be using this in future to maximise the size of the photos i put up, in short if you cant see the whole picture your in the minority and its time to buy a bigger screen!
    Here is an image with a descriptionclick on it, if you cant see it all (inc description) then your screen is set below average resoloution (if you need help call me) shame about the lens flare in this picture

    if your thinking of upgrading a screen or anything pc Novatech for the best prices and most excellent customer service and after sales i have recived in a long time.

    hope i havent sent you to sleep, come back soon as i have some more images to post this week.

    Well i made it out today finished at the office early, it seems as though any thoughts i had on preparation for todays trip counted for not alot, i checked what should have been all the correct settings however still made some critical mistakes, maybe im being to hard on myself these things arent exactly flying slowly, and neither are that particularly close!
    If i take a few pics of some people half of them come out blurred so how do i expect to get a jet aeroplane in foucs.
    981 photos were taken in just 24 minsmany of which were series shots most of which were not useable for printing, some are nice to look at, that is until you view them at full scale and realise just how bad i can be with manual focusing.
    The following is some images that have been resied for the web and cropped a little.

    Well its that time of year again sadly i have never been or had the opportunity to go maybe next year?

    I have always been a fan of the Red Arrows ever since i was a kid, lets be honest who isn’t?

    that and the Avro Vulcan which i last saw probably over 20 years ago it was due to make an appearance at last years revival meting but didn’t make it due to mechanical failure and was told may not fly again thanks to the help of charity and volunteers the beast will be back in our skies throughout the summer i hope and is due to be attending this years revival on Sept 20th 2009. Maybe i will not only see it but get a picture this year!

    So here is one of 300 odd pictures i took last year from the edge of a field near Homebase it was in my beginning days of photography and i made some critical errors with focusing etc.

    I know Ellie and Livy enjoyed themselves last time so we will be up there again on Sunday better luck this time……
