I love the way he only says Glider's shots are great. Completely ignoring mine, tracks and superunknowns.

Terribly sorry guys, i MEANT to say ALL of them were good!

I wish i'd been able to go this year, it looked like a great show.

If you think those are bad, please post your good ones. Me, I would settle for your bad ones.

ME TOO!
What cameras do you guys use?

Beaut pics everyone! Don't have much time, so just for a quick nit-pick, Concorde, on your shot named Lysander_and_Fury_at_Duxford, the biplane is actually a Hawker Nimrod, the only flying one in the world. I know, cos I've got a big fat poster of it on my wall, and the tail numbers of the plane in your pic correspond with those on my poster. And, as I said its the only flying on in the world, so go figure. Anyways, nice pics everyone, I'm off

 

[Concorde247]

You're right - it is a nimrod, i was in a hurry to post the pics sorry about that

Concord. Normally I use a Minolta Dynax 5, but have just bought a Konica Minolta 7D which I used at the International Air Tatoo for the first time. The normal lens for ground to air shots is a Sigma 75-300. They are not expensive and the results are equal to far more expensive lens's.

Hi Glider,

I have two that I swear by, I used to work for kodak - so you can guess what they are...

Yes thats right...FUJIFILM !!!

My first one is an old FinePix 2400Zoom that has 3X optical Zoom with 2.5X digital telephoto.

The other is The finepix S304, with 6X optical Zoom 3.2x Digital Zoom.

They really are first rate cameras so easy to use.

I have a CX7330 - 3x optical zoom, which really isn't enough I don't think.

I actually still have some pictures left, so I will begin the process of posting the last ones.

...if you're wondering why I'm doing it in little posts; it's because I'm finding out which aircraft is which and as soon as I do, I post 'em.
