Re: 70-200MM Canon Lens Under $1000

My only complaint is that when it came to birds, there were a lot of situations where the lens would focus on the wrong thing, or not focus on the birds face. Are you using multiple AF points? Try using a single AF point, and place it squarely on the area you want in focus. Use a single AF point bu...

Re: Female passengers removed from QR flight for invasive examination

Revolting. Should have their traffic rights revoked, or at least use them as the threat to get assurances that such treatment will never happen again.

Re: What are Your Favorite Albums?

Pink Floyd is another band I think I should get into. A lot of ya'll have mentioned them. Where should a first time listener start? If you want to hear the band's roots look for A Nice Pair which is a double album released in 1973 comprising two albums from the 60s. Then there are the obvious Dark ...

Re: What is the future of LGW? What will it mean for the other hubs?

Seeing as there are only two actual London airports, Heathrow cannot take much more. As for London City airport too short a runway and not enough stands. And before people moan about Heathrow, that airport is near Hounslow which is outer London. And if people want to get pedantic London City is the ...

Re: 80% of US voters say things are out of control in US

A starting point perhaps to make people think about how the other 20% think things are hunky dory in this screwed up situation.
