Ahoy! I've just created a Sony Owners Facebook page at: Sony Owners Club . It's still in it's infancy, though I neglected to include Minolta owners, so I will amend it accordingly. Hope you'll be able to stop by and offer advice and help to anyone that needs it. EDIT: I've added the PCA URL to my pa...

Nice detail on that GR4 Pirate - it looks very business like. Thx. It was the Southport airshow last Saturday and some of the 'faster stuff' were using Liverpool Airport. The Vulcan did a flyover. I've got a little slideshow that I'm still working on. Warbirds Slideshow Click the links underneath t...

Having moved to an A850 from the A700 and also having bought the newly released Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 AF Di USD lens, this is one of a series taken at Liverpool airport. First time used 'in anger' as a pairing. What do I think of the lens? I'll take the 5th on that one, but pp'ing 24Mb FF files...

Ahoy! Just for the record, a short message to my fellow A700 owners that I'm moving on to the A850 and as such in due course will be putting up for sale the following items, though as yet, I don't know where, when or for how much, but thought it worthy of some heads-up as this forum has been so help...

Greg Ihadrlyknowher A handy flickr linky plugin that scrolls down, so no wading through pages of stuff. Also fluidr. I like this one a lot. Anyway, enjoy the images assuming you want to hav...

I hope you get much better soon. : ) Good to see that nothing can stop you from photography even when literally embedded because of your back. Rest well.

Cheers Doc, but the zimmer frame gets a lot of use these days. Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your kind words.

Many thanks Birma. I always appreciate it when people take the time to leave comments etc.

I haven't seen a restoration photo of a Mig 17 before, and that's a good shot. One would think Mig 17 parts might be getting a bit scarce now. Greg ps. Hope you are on the mend Pirate.

Good one, Pirate. You selected a good angle and the colours are fairly neutral under the light coming from the opening. It sort of has a 'living room' appeal. I wouldn't mind having one of those in mine if it looked like that. : ) Sort of a weird wish but not inapplicable... Good detais on the Mig-...

Ahoy!

This is a 1964 built Chinese Mig-17 F 'Fresco' (Shengyang F4) currently undergoing restoration at Kissimmee Air Museum, Florida, USA. I've tried to give a bit of a 'pop' to enhance the details a bit more.

Taken with Sony A700 + Sigma AF 17-70mm DC Macro.

This will make you think twice before you ever turn down a perfectly decent lens on the basis of a small amount of dust, flaked-off lens coating or a scratch on the front element.

Prepare to be amazed

I use the following in CS5 (subtle), but can be increased if required after first adjusting with IDC. Amount = 200% (increase to 300% + if more is required) Radius: 0.2 pixels Threshold: 0 However, I normally open my .ARW RAW files using Sony IDC v3.2 as the programme has a great sharpening feature ...
