cathasatail Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hi, I thought I might create this thread for anyone to post pictures in of any events that happened today. I guess I'll start off; I went to Cosford for a superb concert by the Glebe Symphonic Wind Orchestra- with an excellent series of flypasts (and landing) from a BBMF Spitfire: Kind regards, Sam 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Nice shots, Sam. Is this with the new lens? I love the black Spit with the camo rudder! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, yes it is! My first outing with a 300mm and I'm exceedingly impressed- I've also fiddled around with the ISO and exposure to get the prop to blur so I'm chuffed with that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Thought so! Not so much cropping this time? I tend to cheat with auto ISO! What shutter speed did you use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shutter speed did you use? (I did crop these down only slightly, but nothing compared to last time) I used an ISO of 200 and a shutter speed of 1/320, with some exposure correction added in as well. Next time I'll try 1/250 to increase the detail a little more and mitigate some of the bluriness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roys Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) We had quite a treat at Scarborough Armed Forces day when the promised Spitfire 1.00pm did not show but the BBMF Hurricane did half an hour late Plus the Red Arrows Falcons & the RNLI did a bit of winching with the new look coastguards helicopter.

Darby Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Apparently in Plymouth a Strikemaster, Mig 15, Dakota and some other stuff were flying. I didn't go; I need some time off from uniformed nonsense and besides, it would mean going into Plymouth and I've ran out of carbolic and DDT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
