Ok, so this is a BIT of a self plug, but hey.

Went to the air show on Saturday before I broke my arm and took a lot of pictures. The best ones are of the Red Arrows, and i've put the best of em up on my gallery.

However, my favourite six I have posted small within the spoilers tag for your thoughts and criticisms.. (Click for larger Pictures)

Did you go last year Vibs??? Reason I ask is I was there too .

Although my dad was a bit of a wally. As we got out of the car he stuck the tickets in his back pocket and then either a) hit them out with the chairs as he put them on his shoulder or b) got pick pocketed so we had to buy new ones. Was very hot and a good show.

As for the pictures they look great. What camera were you using? Since it looks pretty crisp and upclose.

Thanks, I'm using my 5yr old EOS 350d, with a 50-200mm Sigma Zoom on (Most of these are at full zoom). Most of these pictures were shot using rapid sequencing and then picking the best out later. Additionally, the EOS has a servo focus, so it continually evaluates the focal point, rather than just when u push the button, helping to get fast moving shots in action. I shot 120 on the day, to produce ~30 good shots, which isn't a bad yield.
Went photographing a coupla goods trains in the rockies (amongst other things),took 200 shots and only had 3 i was happy with [I took an awfull lot of pictures that holiday!, to the june of 6/7gb)
