Already been said I imagine as I'm a bit late, but I just put my CV on Jobsite/Monster/TotalJobs, and had a gazillion calls in the next following weeks from Agencies (had 12 just in the first day). Oh and email spam, expect a lot of email spam - it's probably worth setting up a separate email...
Got two new front tyres yesterday and passed MOT with nothing wrong & no advisories.
Today I got a set of Turini's to be powdercoated in Anthracite :))
To be honest at the moment I'm more worried about the horrible UI decisions for Visual Studio :(
At least with an OS I can switch between (assuming you can install the latest VS on a lesser OS), whereas I need to be on the latest VS :(.
Oh! I thought they could mix if not standard for extra?
Hmmm! Once I've got the paint code I can go from there, and if they don't either find somewhere else or go for a generic colour!
I've got my Turini's from a member on here today, and will be doing them in Anthracite (probably at City Powder Coating).
I currently have no centre caps but if I was to get them I'd get the Trophy ones as they are anthracite, and obviously want the wheels to match ;)
So, what's the paint code...
Yep, I'm now looking at a minimum 400mm to be honest.
So that's either one of these three lenses so far:
* Canon 400mm L
* Canon 100-400mm L
* Sigma 150-500mm
All extremely expensive, but there doesn't seem to be any "budget" ones that are good/actually cheap!
Yeah it takes ages!
I'm now enjoying doing PP, so expect to see cropped photos and some slight touchups rather than potentially a small aircraft in a huge frame of cloud! :P
Also keep looking at a Sigma 150-500mm :( damnit! (or the Canon 100-400mm L USM), the 250mm I found irritating...
My first go at Air Photography, and only took advice from the thread below. I varied my shots a lot trying to get a feel for what I should be using and some came out rather well!
I haven't uploaded that many yet but here's a few I have:

They look good, the only thing I would suggest is when you're shooting in the sky and there's clouds, add +2/3 or +1 exposure so that you still get the detail on the plane/helicopter instead of it being quite dark :)
I took my car into Hylton to get the rocker cover leak fixed under warranty as Fred had found out when i took it up to him and got pics.
They said it was a oil cannister and prompted to change that, lol. After a year of going back and forth I gave up and found them absolutely useless, they...
Honestly, the hour's drive is worth it.
The only thing I'd take it to Hylton for is an MOT (which I am on Wednesday, call me crazy but I still have my "Renault Premiere Warranty" so if anything fails I should be ok on it (apart from tyres etc)), the service Fred provides is more than worth the...
