Thank you. Peter gave very nice display which included a couple of lovely topside passes. Contrary to the impression created by the pictures above my panning that day was nearly useless and I only got one good shot from both passes.

I was going to compliment you on your panning! Nice shot of the Bristol M1 with the blurred trees behind, giving the impression of movement. 

 

I tend to just use a high shutter speed to counter my wobbly panning efforts :)

You should see the number of duff shots! I use the lower shutter speed, 1/250, so I don't get motionless propellers but I get a lot of unsharp images. I do wonder how well the experts manage. Of course with shots like that of the Bristol, where the prop is in line with you, if one's mind and fingers were fast enough a high speed could be set.

I nearly missed the Bristol because I was looking elsewhere when it appeared without warning as it started its take off run from close to the hangars. It was a case of up with the camera and 'click' - Lucky
