Some recent photos

Here's a few recent photos I thought I'd better post before they get too old. All look much betterer viewed large.

First, a couple of recent visitors..



Now some from the recent club comps...





And finally a couple of shots I took of one of our famous flying instructors while experimenting with my new wide angle lens...

Where was the 152 from? Looks like a really tidy specimen! Shame about the chocolate colouring :(

Also, is that FWS in the last 2 shots?

ps. what cam and glass were you using for those wide angle shots?

Looks like a New Plymouth aircraft. Does look pretty tidy...

Yeah, I think it was FWS...

Those shots taken with a Nikon F5, Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8, Fuji Pro 400H film

Thanks for that, the missus just got herself a Canon 450D, and could probably do with a similar lens...

her kit lenses (18-55mm and 55-250mm) are a bit limited ;)

@zk-jpy: I do my very best to avoid buying new whenever possible, and for Canon I'd be looking at something like these three: 10-22 f/3.5-4.5, 50 f/1.8 and 70-200 f/2.8 or f/4 L
