    Doh!

    See. This is what you get when you sell your 70-300 ...

    The very next day you see something that's too far away



    There's a ghostly moan on the wind. I look up. Oooh - two gliders (G-ZENN and G_RAIR it says on their wings). Actually, six gliders, no ten gliders all under one cloud...




    Aha. Lasham Open Class Nationals are on this week..

    Look, I'm an old man. I shouldn't be expected to put up with this.

        But would he have had that lens with him anyway? Doesn't matter how good the lens or what magnification it has if it's at home in the cupboard!


        Just saying that to make you feel better, Pete.

          Ah, but he wouldn't have got all ten gliders into one shot with the 70-300, would he?

          I'm also saying that to cheer you up, Pete!

                    Or inquisitive and almost touching the lens with their noses!
