Duxford....
Looks like I am not meant to see a full airshow. Mrs decided to come with me and also decided she was cold after an hour or so. I could have stayed to the end and let her go back to the car and wait but sometimes you have to act on instinct :eyesup:
So I did not see the spitfires or anything in the last half hour. Plus side is I got home really easily with no car park queue. Never tried anything like this before (well I went to duxford but the show was cancelled last time). Took a few shots as the planes were on the ground to see how the propellors looked for blur - seems you need a pretty slow shutter speed. All tips and advice welcome. I'm the first to admit there was guesswork involved  This one is the right way up....  And so is this one  This seaplane was turning - liked the different blur of the 2 props. Also the novel wheel retraction into the side.  Suppose if you are panning one way the other way will be a blur....  Helicoper display..not quite in focus  Not a great shot (too much background stuff for a full view) but I liked the prop again....  These flew a complete loop like this.  Wasn't there early enough to grab front row but had seated people in front of me then some  pushed through to stand next to me and get in the way as I tried to pan. He also pushed forward on occaisions to use his disposable camera. But for the fact he was younger and bigger than me.....

Oh yes meant to say - It was a nice sunny afternoon but the air was hazy and the sun was in your eyes as you tried to watch. Could not even look at a lot of the display let alone photograph it as you were squinting into the sun!
I have tweaked the pictures a bit to reduce the hazed look. |

The *average* file size is below 160k but one image is 182k. Does it need changing for the rules?
