And just spotted the lens , any logistical issues with that?
Thanks guys
Hank, erm yeah the hernia clinic is getting a bit to familiar now its a heavy old beast, and if im damn fool enough to take the 300 2.8 as well i tend to walk with a backward lean lol
I enjoy looking at other peoples work. My own pictures are more about capturing a moment and are usually snaps taken on my mobile and as such are not comparable with the usual high standard seen in here, so with that in mind this is my favourite picture from last week.
Rush Hour
I think they are the hardest working ladies in agriculture.
Nice shots. Whereabouts were you Ian? We had a nightmare getting out, excellent show though!
Geezer
Yeah same here mate, took me about 2 hours to get out lol i got home at 9 oclock.
We were sitting at the front, about 100 yds left of the windsock, in front of the air cadets motor gliders, you wouldnt have missed us if you came anywhere near us, a 500 and 600 on tripods lol
I'd be interested in strategy and technique Ian, must be a lot more thought and planning go into an event with a big prime over a mid range zoom. Your framing opportunities must be limited too, especially with the likes of the lancaster crossing the field of vision while getting closer too.

Lovely shots of the 2 bombers
Apparently, there were 4 miles of tailbacks on the M54. The parents live a few miles down the road over the border in Shropshire.
I got there at 815am, so avoided most of the trouble, apparently as soon as people heard the Vulcan was going to be there, and the weather was going to be good, attendence soared, they turned people away as it was a sell out !
Excellent day as well, only downside for me was getting out lol
I have a few from Oulton Park a few weeks back (well month and a bit)
Camera used was a Nikon D80 with a VR2 70-300mm
I was playing around a little to try to get the blurring right.
which i thought came out quite well (she and her friends walked in the way of the skid pan whilst I was taking some pics, and I was distracted for some reason! )

Good thread this, keep them coming.
It does have its limitations, i went with the 600 on the 1d Mk3 and 300 2.8 on the 50D so have shots from both, deliberately planned to shoot with only the primes, to give myself a challenge. It very quickly fills the frame and makes unusable shots but does give you the opportunity to give the effect you are on the planes level or not far off, so makes it feel like you are altitude. The 600 HAS to be on a tripod there is no way you would hold it otherwise. I took 1400 pictures between the 2 cameras on the day, i will more than likely filter that down by half and then probably even further when i have time.

Always good to see you John, shame its so infrequently, but glad it worked out today glad the family are all well too
Ta for the info, I hadn't thought about the altitude thing but it makes sense.
50% first cut keepers with those sounds pretty good. I reckon I'd have loads with tiny subjects, some smeary ones in the middle and a good chunk where I'd shot just a bit too late waiting for a filled frame
Some nice shots here.. time I got back on Scoobynet properly and got the camera going again.. Managed it last week in Cornwall, I'll get some shots sorted out and posted tomorrow hopefully.
Here we go.. Padstow Harbour by Night.. all comments and constructive critisism gratefully accepted - this is currently as shot but I have the RAW's to work on when I have more time...
, any logistical issues with that?
