    fantastic pics 🙂

    do the aircraft display a lot closer than at Duxford?

    (I haven’t been to Old Warden since I was about 14, so can’t remember!)

    My tenner’s going to XH558 – hopefully to prove the doubters wrong! 😀

    did you, by any chance, change lenses while the camera was switched on?

    this seems a common way of getting an ‘error 99’ code up?

    Some of the snappers on here have already put me right 🙂

    so there should be no repeat of saturday’s efforts!

    some of the shots were ok though – it was a learning trip for me anyway – stuff I learned this weekend will stand me in good stead next time. Can’t wait for the next airshow 😀

    cheers

    doesn’t look like you’ve got much to complain about from these shots! 😀

    I spent most of Saturday shooting with an indoor white balance setting :rolleyes: I’ve learn’t a lesson from that!

    My autofocus seemed to spaz out a lot too and I missed a few shots that I’m sure would have been good.

    Guess I should focus manually like I used to before I got lazy.

    in reply to: Duxford – what about the veterans?! #1409097

    I overheard a veteran pilot in one of the Art vendors marquees, as he pointed at a painting of hurricanes taking off he said “disgraceful – they should have had their bloody wheels up by now!”

    classic 😀

    I have read the relevant part of the manual, re-set everything and taken some test shots outside of various light aircraft going over, seems all sorted now! 🙂

    thanks so much, all of you, for your help!

    On with the season!! 😀

    that sounds like it may be the answer, as the last thing I did before the weekend was some indoor product shots using the tungsten wb setting…

    hmm… thanks guys – it’s starting to make sense now 🙂

    thanks guys 🙂

    TonyA – it was ok again when I switched back to sports mode, so I don’t think anything else changed when I changed autofocus modes. The tornado shot was after the hurricane for example.

    but yes these were straight from the camera (apart from cropping)

    I don’t mind twaeking in Photoshop, but i’d like to get it right ‘on the day’ 😀

    ~Thanks again chaps!

    Anyone remember the Manston Air Day shows? – they were cool too.
    Great Warbirds at West Malling is the one I REALLY miss though. My formative years were spent waiting for that one to come round…

    I hope to God it doesn’t pan out like this but I don’t think the public will notice something that’s absent…

    on another point, isn’t this a result of an EU ‘directive’ rather than a law?

    We don’t have to comply with directives – just consider them, but unfortunately our current government will roll on it’s back and let anyone tickle it’s belly, rather than stand firm.

    Vote them OUT!

    Good point, there are also other events coming up this year, quoting from the events list on the Sally B website:

    10 Sun
    Duxford
    Flypast Over London & Buckingham Palace

    at which Sally B’s presence (or conversely, and I hope it doesnt happen, absence) would ‘spread the word’ to the general public, mass media and hopefully, the powers that be.
