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...

Heres a few more examples from today....

Thanks Paul, Im getting to grips with the camera now.... About time....

I went back over this evening to try out the new lens a bit more, started off on the mound but decided to try some shots from the barrier side....
I dont think they came out to bad.....

The next generation starting off....

Very nice, Tailwind and the stop sign are beauts, start them young the only thing is the next thing it will be another one for Fairford

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

)

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....
