Hi Zack. do you have a manual setting on your camera? if yes then use Tv setting and set your shutter speed to 1/320 for prop planes like the spit and lanc this will give you a bit of prop blur and for the jets around 1/500. Hope you have a good time and remember don`t spend to much time taking photos or you`ll end up watching the show through the lens. Have fun.

thanks alot william for the reply the good thing is that i can get right under the runway at the show and there is some spitfires and a lancaster bomber doin a flyby so i will try to get somw shotes of them.also many more planes will be coming from all over the world so it should be a good show.

Hi Zack and welcome

A Fuji A345 is a four megapixel autofocus camera, which means the results should be well up to the technical standard of the rest of the stuff posted on this forum. You’ll find that you have to reduce the file size in order to post the pictures, which means that as far as reproducing them on the web is concerned you’re no worse off than someone who’s spent thousands on fully professional kit.
Best of luck – let’s see what you come up with.

You’ll probably find hundreds of people taking photos there – unless Rolls-Royce have banned them, which is highly unlikely and in fact unenforceable!
Looking forward to seeing the results from you, please post your best shots on here!
