Say Cheese! Compared with 30 years ago the prevalence of photography as part of the hobby now is enormous. Go to any airshow and you'll see a field of lenses of all shapes and sizes following the aircraft around the sky. In this episode we chat about the equipment we use, what works for the hobby and what kind of kit we add on.
