Nice shots Martin (if i’m allowed to say that!). I’ve got lots of good shots from the evening, but do I or don’t I post? 😀

I say post them Darren, this confusion should have been sorted out days ago.

Great shots Martin, wish I’d gone now, but 3 weeks on the bounce would not have well received on the home front!

Septic.

Hi fidgit 1,

Your not alone!
I used a Nikon d100 coupled to a 120-300 sigma lens with a sigma EX 2X converter a Duxford, out of 450 shots taken during the display theres only around thirty I’m really happy with. I tend to stick with a shutter of 1/250, but this does mean I loose a lot of shots to slight blur.

Unfortunately over the last few years the displays at Duxford have moved further away from the crowd line, at one time you could just about get away with an 80-200, these days you need ideally need 400mm. I just wish Nikon would copy Canons product range.

However with a 1.4 converter on the same set up and shutter speed still set at 1/250 the success rate drastically improves. I will reluctantly raise the shutter speed if I use the 2X converter again. There’s nothing worse than getting home to see all those great shots a touch out of focus.
