Nice one H. What lens did you get?

I bought a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR which seems to be the best lens for the kind of money I wanted to spend, I was thinking of going for a lens with a longer reach but decided to go for one that seems to be better suited to my pocket...   or should I say what the wife let me spend...  ;D

Heres a few more examples from today....

Very nice Don, I hope you're liking the new lens :) And nice to see the barrier back in use now that the suns up for longer. Were you standing on the sign or did you have a ladder?
 
Also I noticed the Tailwind 737 flying towards Dublin earlier today, glad you caught it (and the 767 yesterday  ;D )

Thanks Dave, I was doing my usual balancing act on the barrier which wasn't too easy as there was quiet a wind blowing...

A few more from yesterday....
