    Thanks for those Trumper and Robbo, excellent pictures.

    Robbo – I didn’t intentionally not credit the picture, I just couldn’t remember where I got it. I’d been looking through different reviews of Legends, and another forum, so couldn’t remember where that shot had come from.

    I know they were parked at opposite ends of the field, but I was hoping someone might have got a better angle of this picture I took on the Saturday of Sally B taxiing past Pink Lady, or something similar to this flying pic I found on another website ( I believe it was taken by Nick Blacow).

    Ross. I don’t know the 3100, but I do have the 5700 so there may be some similarities.

    On mine there is a mode that at the cost of a grainier viewfider image gives you a much shorter lag time.

    Also, as I rarely print out the pictures, mostly posting them or viewing them on computer I’ve stopped using the ‘hi’ resolution setting (tiff) and gone down to ‘fine’ (jpg format) which is more than adequate (I still need to reduce size and resolution for posting) and cycles much faster.

    Moggy

    I don’t think the 3100 has that. It doesnt give manual control of very much at all except white balance and increasing or decresing exposure( i think thats what it is; EXP-/+ in the menu). I have been putting all my Hendon photos through Paint Shop 7 and have removed the grain and improved the colour, so I’ll have to put them on cd to get them developed.

    I’m sure this has probably been mentioned before but why do people feel the need to bring a stepladder into the flightline when they are less than 10ft from the planes and you can always get a clear view if you wait a few seconds. I noticed everyone was very considerate and didn’t get in each others way and didn’t stand in the same place too long so everyone had a chance to see everything. The person I saw with the ladder on the flight line was later dragging it round with him through the hangars. Can anyone enlighten me? :confused:

    Hi Ross, I’ve just bought my first digital camera too (minolta Z1) – th egreat thing is that it doesn’t cost you anything to practice with it and you can see the results instantly! main limitation with mine is flying shots of prop a/c.. the sport mode focuses OK but insists on a high shutter speed so you get frozen props – jets are ok !! examples below.. best of luck with yours..

    I noticed the same with my camera, the props look like they are either stopped or moving very slowly. This spitfire was taxiing past but it’s blades hardly look like they’re turning.

    These are the best of the bomber hall pics. The slow shutter speed meant some are very slightly blurred (a tripod or anything that would hold the camera steady would solve this)and there is a bit of a grain on the pictures. But they are a lot better than the ones i took with my ordinary camera.

    Excellent, what you have captured is atmosphere, and memories, they are what make displays important (along with the weather of coursde.

    cheers

    Thank you very much. I haven’t actually looked through all my pics yet. I just chose a few at random to show. I also tested the camera in that most challenging of places – the bomber hall at Hendon. I’ll see how they look later.

    It’s a Nikon 3100. I had to keep adjusting the exposure time depening on the light which was a bit of a pain, but i’ll get the hang of it. The slow speed between pressing the button and the camera actually taking the picture was also annoying as well as the time it takes to save the camera to memory which meant i could only get one picture of a plane as it taxied past.

    You must have been looking at them while was resizing the pics. They should be smaller now.

    I’d say that serial is ND621 or ND627.
