Hi Gary….Another nice period outfit mate and it seems a bit of a speciality that takes a lot of your time.Did you say”MILDENHALL” the eagles lair:eek::)now that would be a great place to get some images:):cool:.

If you want the prop blur on your 500 use the mode dial and put it on T.V(Aperture priority)and set the shutter speed at about 1/250 for starters and put the ISO at about 200 to brighten things up.Just try and follow things as you see them and try and press the shutter without moving the body of the camera.I always hold the camera close to my face and use it as a buffer to keep it as still as possible.

That’s just a rough guideline and when you get good weather and better light you can experiment by reducing the shutter speed even more and click away to see what happens.:confused::)I’m getting better at knitting 😀 and worse with my experiments on my own cameraHa,ha.See you about and good luck and maybe you will get to post some of your shots on this site..cheers..JB

Hi Gary…Nice to hear from you and glad you found the site and thread.You can download the photo from the thread or any that you want and was pleased you liked them anyway.:)

I’m not a camera/photographic expert but can help you with some basic problems so if your there next time and I’m about I’d be more than happy to help if I can,(there is a lot of luck involved)in getting some of the flying shots.:rolleyes::)They are a pretty friendly bunch that run the aircraft and Maurice and his team are always easy to talk too and ask questions about anything aviation I suppose.

That’s the beauty of these small events when the owners let the people attending be interactive and tactile with the machines and also let them photograph them up close.Also there is another thread on page 3 of the historic aviation page done by a chap called “tarkey” and there is some more photos.Anyway nice to have met you and might see you about there should you find your way there again.ha,ha….P/s The outfit was very realistic maybe you should give the BBC your name and there wardrobe outfit unit might get you some work,you never know

Thanks Mr Wiseman….It was a little surreal going on the site that weekend with a feeling of the past meeting the present and those not in retro attire feeling a little out of sorts..:rolleyes::)

Just a quick P.s.. the first photo of the lady by the mustang was taken last month..and the models that look horizontal aren’t actually as they were just taken that way to level them off,as you can imagine they were strapped to the side of the trailer and this will give you some idea of the scale of things,especially the sterling..:confused::)
