Jump to postSorry for being OT: but I loved you guys on the Amazing Race! Eliminated far too early but at least you guys got to enjoy Bora Bora!
Of course I will miss the UA 747-400 as well... sadly never got to fly them on SYD-LAX before they switched over to the 777/787
As likely as a direct flight between Asia and CUN, or North America and PMI
Jump to postOf course there's also Air Austral, which at times had registrations bearing their destinations, F-OMAY (Mayotte), F-ORUN (Reunion), F-OPAR (Paris), F-ONOU (Noumea) and F-OSYD (Sydney)
Jump to postNot sure where people are getting their facts from, but the fact that MEL-PER-LHR saves an hour from the next best option is blatantly untrue. The route is blocked at 22hr 55min for PER-LHR and the fastest is SQ via SIN at 22hr 20mins. On the reverse route QF via PER is 21hr 40mins, Qatar is 21hr 30...

To answer your question, ZRH-JFK-GVA-JFK-ZRH on LX also comes to mind.
Why not rotate them HNL-HND-KOA-HND-HNL and save the cycles?

This has a potential to be a very profitable route for them, a direct flight, premium heavy cabin and utilising the 789 should see plenty of patronage with good operating costs and high yield. They will have 32" pitch in economy, but at standard nine abreast such a long flight might not be to ...

Sydenham Railway Station is okay for 16R arrivals and certain 34L departures if you have to use public transport.
Hi all, This thought popped into my head recently as I continued looking for a long-term camera. Would a new camera be better or an equivalently priced second hand version. For example, a new 5000D would cost roughly the same as a s/h D2x. Likewise, a new 550D would be similarly priced to a s/h 5D M...

Jump to postHi all, I have been considering upgrading my current camera to a DSLR for some time now, but the FinePix HS10 caught my eye- DSLR-like zoom and focus, 24-720mm(!!) lens, good high ISO quality, full <acronym title="Hokkaido International Airlines (Japan)">HD</acronym> 1080p video, and 10fps <i>at the...

Jump to postI dont think there are any accessories for the 590, there might be cosmetically (grips, lens caps etc). If you look to try to upgrade your camera, the best thing you can do buy yourself a tripod (they're around $30 or so), and try to get that shutter low. At the long end of the 590's zoom, use no hi...

Jump to postAperture matters more on a SLR than any form of compact. the biggest problem with compacts is the small sensor size, so ISO should really be the number one priority, otherwise all images would be unusable. Then the other reason (other than out of focus) for clur is too slow of a shutter speed, so th...

Jump to postAs a fellow Superzoom user, let me share a few tips I have gotten, mostly with personal experience and experimentation. 1. Low ISO is best.

Jump to postQuick question- is Barton Park still open for the public and if so what's the view like there?
Thanks.
The crop is bad on both shots. For example on the LX A330, there is a huge chink of sky on the left but none on the right.

Jump to postWell it's simple maths. For every new photo accepted/rejected, one gets 'pushed' out of your most recent 50. So if you're most recent 50 contained 40 acceptances and 10 rejections, and you get another 10 acceptances, then your ratio depends on where the acceptances and rejections are. For example, i...

Jump to postYes, I noticed the noise problem too. I'm hesitant to use anything higher than ISO 200 otherwise the grain just takes over the entire image.
How much would you say a second-hand camera would cost that could produce better shots? And then how much for the lens?
Thanks.
