I'm really tempted by the 70-200 F2.8 IS but I think my wife will kill me if I purchased more camera equipment!

Currently got a 100-400 F/4L, 70-200 F/4L and a 17-40L. oh and the nifty fifty of course!

I've just purchased a Canon 5D MkIV - What a camera! I'm going to use my old 6D as a second body for airshows etc this year.

That’ll be a great trip, we really wanted to do a Transatlantic cruise but with the wife being a teacher we are always too late / early with her holidays! We booked a 2 week cruise for next August whilst we was onboard - proper spare of the moment and will cost us an arm and a leg. Off to...

Still one of the biggest cruise ships around! Completely full but didn't feel busy at all - it's doing a 2 day cruise starting this afternoon and then heading over to the States for the Winter.

We've just got back from a 5 day cruise on Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas - sailing from Southampton we went to Rotterdam, Bruges, Cherbourg and La Havre. We was very lucky with the weather and had some stunning sunsets at sea - we've sailed with Royal Caribbean before (on the...

It bloody is! ? Took us around 45 minutes to get to the top - first part is pretty steady then it get's pretty steep from there on. https://goo.gl/maps/6g9jqsuzhfr You'll need good walking shoes, I also took a pop up tent to use at the top. I used the below site to plan my visit -...

Just got home after a nice long 5 hour journey back to Essex! Had a couple come through today, I left at about 1 ish I think, I got 10 mins down the road and 6 F-15's went through. I was proper gutted! Always next time though - cracking place.

Apparently they were meant to come through the loop earlier in the week - let's see what tomorrow brings!

Nothing came through today but keep finding editable shots from yesterday! ZK015 // Hawk T2 // Royal Air Force // Mach Loop by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr ZA614 // Tornado GR4 // Royal Air Force // Mach Loop by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr ZA614 // Tornado GR4 // Royal Air Force // Mach Loop by...

Cheers all - not sure why the links aren't working for the bigger versions!

Yeah, i'm in a few of the groups - pretty handy. Also spent the day next to people "in the know"! One more: Look Mum, no hands! by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr

Yep - the "Timetable" that's published by the RAF doesn't really apply to the Loop I've been told.

You don't! some days there will be nothing at all come through - just pot luck. We had about 20 movements today which is a lot according to the regulars.

Cheers guys - I'll be going back tomorrow and Friday, weather isn't looking too favourable though! At least I can tick off my bucket list! One more: RAF100 C130 Hercules // Royal Air Force // Mach Loop by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr

And what a place it is! Very lucky today as we have a lot of movements and some nice weather! ZA614 // Tornado // Royal Air Force // Mach Loop by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr 91-327 // F15-E Strike Eagle // USAF // Mach Loop by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr ZA614 // Tornado GR4 // Royal Air Force //...

Ha, that's what i'm fearing. Weather is looking ok tomorrow, Thursday and Friday are looking a bit iffy. I've got a pop up tent just incase, I want to be prepared!

Off to the Mach Loop tomorrow for 3 days, hoping for some decent action although weather isn't looking too favourable at the moment!

Cheers guys. It’s the only real time I give the camera some exercise nowadays! Off to the Mach Loops in a few weeks

I'm slowly going through my massive backlog of photos to edit, I had a great 6(!) days at RIAT this year - took over 24'000 photos as we had such nice weather for the whole week! A Flanker and a Storm! by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr EC-400 // Airbus Industries // A400M // RIAT 2018 by Simon...

I'm not sure if this will interest anyone here but I'm selling my 1.4 Converter on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183211873435?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

G-JZHL / Jet2 / 737-800 by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr Pretty pleased with this considering the 70-200 F/4L doesn't come with image stabilisation!

Anyone using the Beta? I've just come across it - seems like a great idea! I've got a MacBook and really want to play the newest games however usually without a Windows computer it's impossible!

I've got a set of Bose QC15's for sale if you're interested? Details in the For Sale section. In good condition, just needs the head band cushion replaced - will cost about £15!

Lovely! I need to get out more with my camera and try things like this rather than sticking to what i'm comfortable with!

Just got back from Lisbon, such a lovely city. I too ketch above photo at the Oceanarium that's just outside the city - it's been voted the best aquarium in the world. Simply awesome place! Lisbon Oceanarium - Aquarium by Simon Nicholls, on Flickr Lisbon Oceanarium / Jellyfish by Simon...
