We appreciate that you spend quite a bit of time bringing us photos from Mildenhall etc. Unfortunately, it would appear that your lens has been broken for some time. Time for an update to a fully working lens would benefit your efforts immensely. Even a good used lens might be found for a reasonable price and improve your results.

All the best. 😉

The world worst photographer doesn't listen.

He has been told many time before - photography is not your super skill - maybe try golf instead?

I do find it a bit annoying as I often have limited bandwidth and I'd rather not have it wasted on efforts like this.

Crazy golf in Majorca or Dubai is my thing thanks.

I do not know why you have limited bandwith nor do I care but I find it slightly amusing to see your response when I post up a photo FYI yes I have had my photos published before internationally thankyou and in the odd product brochure. I can pm a few links if you like.

Happy Xmas anyhow and all the best for 2022

Cheers

btw I think we have met before have we not either at Farnborough Air Show or Paris Le Bourget?

My 75-300 is around a decade old.

Happy Xmas

It is true to say that you do post a lot of out-of-focus shots. Personally, I have appreciated seeing these QA shots from you (especially the break shot, which is great), but one or two properly focused shots would have been preferable to seeing many that were not.

I worked as a photojournalist for 16 years and can appreciate that its frustrating to have to cull shots, but less really is more when it comes to imagery!

Anyway, keep enjoying your hobby and merry Christmas to you, too!
