Aviation - Air Force open day

[joeseph]

Hi all,
been meaning to post more for a while, so went to an open day at our local Airforce today and spent an enjoyable time with the D60 & 100-400L.

Here's the best of the batch.

The Red Checkers takeoff is great..and also their manouver....and that Seasprite photo on your index site (IMG 9839) is great. Great work !

Thanks,
the day wasn't without a few rubbish shots however,
there was:

immediately followed by:

now which would have been the better shot?

I also had an ERR-01 that I've never seen before, will have to do a search & see what common causes are.

<found it: Lens Communication, fairly unlikely as I didn't change lens at all yesterday! oh dear, I may have to go out and buy a 20D.... ;-) >

cheers.

Hey, I probably saw you there. I was there also. Nice shots there. :)

I'll try and post a few when I get time. I'm impressed with how close you got with some of those shots. I was using a 20D with 70-300 Sigma.
