I have a 600mm lens and it's great for ground-to-airs, but the problem is the greater the distance of the subject matter the greater the tendency to induce unwanted blur. It helps if you have a high shutter speed, but to get that convincing prop blur, it can be tricky to hold the camera still, especially when panning. Note the varying degrees of prop blur in these pics. They still work though.

Fantastic pics chaps. I was there this year...first time since 2005 !... but was full on busy with the race crews until the Thursday, so didn't get much time to go walkabout and meet up with any-one. Promise I'll try harder next year !
