The one thing you don't say is the current lens you have. If you want images with the fast jet solos you will be looking at 300mm minimum. Also, the sun is in your face for the start of the day to make matters more difficult for photography. If shooting props, switch to shutter priority and...

well, looks like my Scotch Bonnet seeds have died off. Were fine until today when a combination of propogator and sunlight seems to have burnt them to a crisp. Oops!

It does indeed seem it may have been shock from moving them. I put a couple of plastic bags over the top of the new pots to keep the heat in a bit and overnight they have come back to life a bit. Could well have been the temp change that didn't help as they had come out of the propagator onto a...

First year attempting to grow some Apache F1's but may have an issue. Have just put three plants into pots after reaching 3 inch's ish tall and the second set of leaves growing though. In the space of 2 hours the leaves have curled up and plants bent over double. Anyone got any ideas what...

Some lovely shots there, thanks for posting!

was indeed a top show, shame there wasn't a bit more shade for it though ;D Good shooting mate, loving the typhoon shot especially with the lack of shadows. Seems like all mine of that display have the tail in harsh shadows!

Yeovilton is going to be a very good show by the looks of it this year. Am hopefullly going to it but have to drive the 4.5 hours home straight afterwards to get to the Lowestoft airshow on the sunday!

It's dependant, amongst other things, on the shows ability to have the proceedures in place to handle 'live' aircraft. There are various exclusion zones that have to be in place around the aircraft once they are loaded and most shows can't achieve this sort of sterile environment. For the...

Sally B makes appearences at a number of airshows. The schedule is here - http://www.sallyb.org.uk/index.php?_a=viewDoc&docId=16 Good effort for the first time at shooting airshows, glad to see some prob blur :D Belgian F-16 flare shot is nice, didn't manage to get one shot of it popping...

thanks for the comments guys. It is indeed the Canon 100-400 on a 7D. And no, moon was not photoshopped in afterwards :) It was one of the last acts of the day and all the way through i had been waiting for something to be in the right place. Not the shot i was hoping for if i'm honest but at...

With such lovely weather at the weekend it would have been rude not to have travelled down to Duxford and it seems like i wasn't the only one who decided to go! A few pictures from a very hot but enjoyable day! 1. Flight Line by zymurgy661, on Flickr 2. Steinbach Extreme 300...

I've used MPB in the past, very good service

Silver gaffer tape will be tonights temp solution, but would rather it wasn't long term!

It seems that the lower bumper 'lip' on my ST220 front bumper has taken a beating coutesy of a fat pigeon. One side of it was already cracked but the pigeon seems to have cracked the other side which in turn means the whole lip is now hanging loose. I'm looking for a relitively cheap fix for...

Best shot i managed to get of them, you can just about see them in the sky!! Unfortunatley couldn't stay longer to wait for pitch black. Cromer Sunset with Jupiter & Venus by zymurgy661, on Flickr

I use a 7d with 100-400 for airshows and it's not a bad setup. I also have a 70-200 f/4 but thats not really used too much apart from static ground shots or when i'm really close to the action. Even with the crop body though i would really prefer a 500mm prime for airshows. But, all i shoot...

Not always. For example, Tornado's, F-15E's and the F/A-18 B, D and F models are all two seaters. Whilst some are configured for training mostly they are twin seat for operational reasons

There are both single and dual seat models with second seat for WSO or trainer

well, i've put my entry in for this month. Hopefully it meets the category!

Well i've installed LR4 and migrated my LR3 catalog over. Inital 15 min impression is that the new develop module sliders are a little easier to understand for those who haven't used before. The exposure compensation mask brush is brilliant. However, the sliders in develop module seem a little...
