    Hi Pete,

    I would use the camera in shutter priority only. For flying shots I would start with setting the shutter speed to either 1-250th or 1-320th that way you won’t loose too many shots. The steadier you are the slower you can go.

    Nikon bodies will always under expose a little, so I would be careful using the exposure compensation, its very easy to forget its in use. Always better to under expose. If you use NX capture or photoshop software it should be able to readjust under exposure OK. As for Auto Focus I always use AF-C.

    If you post a couple of images we can see what difficulties your having.

    Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

    I still have a few to post BTW.

    Phil,

    This is what I have in my camera bag, a Nikon D300, a Nikon 300mm f2.8 VR lens, 1.4 converter and a 18-200 VR Nikon short zoom.

    Tbyguy, I did say Worlds Greatest Warbird show! Having been to quite a few around this planet, Legends consistently delivers. Although I feel most enthusiasts and me included take if for granted.

    Thanks TJ/Martin,

    just wished I’d spent Saturday at Waddo. Will try Farnborough next to catch the mighty Delta.

    James,

    SallyB was due to be at Biggin, but is currently at Duxford awaiting a new engine, it is hoped that SallyB will be ready for Flying legends.

    Thanks everyone.

    Now a few answers.

    Manston Airport; The Kent Spit was in the static only, it did seem strange that it didn’t display, but I had heard it was meant to go to France on the Friday but bad weather on route led to Clive Denney retuning TA805 back to Biggin.

    As far as I know the Meteor is still part of the Air
    Atlantique stable.

    Oakley; Nikon D300 with a 300mm F2.8 VR lens plus a 1.4 converter.

    Very nice Martin, the Hunter Meteor break is stunning, I knew I should have moved nearer crowd centre. Good to see you Sunday.
