Hell JP.net forum readers,
Hi my name is mark nicol and I have just received a Nikon F65 for christmas with 1) 28-100mm & 2) 80-300mm (?) lenses in which I am very pleased with.

Dec 31st (nye) was my first shoot session in which I did at Sydney international airport (YSSY) in which the photos could have been better, but ones im pleased with. images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I look forward to taking more aviation related photos and adding them to the JP.net database.

If you have any tips (or websites) on how to take good photos, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, images/smiles/icon_smile.gif images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif evil2.gif

Well they aren't "THAT" bad...but they are really grainy. ...They are only bad compared to a lot of the other photos here...and my new ones...which are going to get even better with some tips I got.
