I like the first 2 a little more than the 3rd. They are all nice..

Good sharpness and Good color.... Those are hard to catch in flight...

What shutter speed did you use for the 2nd pic Paul?

[bealie]

1/800 @ f9 iso 200, it is a very a big crop from a not so good raw file

[BigDan]

I'll be there from the Tuesday all the way through to departures on the Monday after. I'm a FRIAT member :lol: .

I love the smell of jet fuel in the morning

[bealie]

Lucky man.............i will be ther on wed.fri and proberly mon

[muscleflex]

oh man! i'll try and be there too!!!!

here's an idea - let's all meet!!! what's the best day to go? do you think they'll have the new replacement for the harrier?

[JuZ]

I think I'm going to be there Sunday, I've not been before, can someone give me an idea of where is best to stand for piccies :)

[Michaelmjc]

Were those real planes? or were they the model ones? they look awesome either way.

[BigDan]

The No. 1 tip for Fairford:- GET THERE EARLY. Last year I got to the gate at 7 and the queue was several hundred yards long. People ten across, not cars. Display centre is just to the left of the Tower, near the Grandstands (Bleachers for our american friends), so get a space as close as you can. A good idea is to get one person to stay with your gear, while the rest go for a walk, and then swap around during the day. Security is pretty tight, with Airport X-ray machines, and bag searches at all entrances, so try and travel as light as you can. Other than that, pray to the RIAT gods for good weather, and you should be OK.

hmm..do you still have to pay? and does this mean you NEED a long lens?

guess what - i've just also found out that there's an RAF air show in WADDINGTON this weekend - 2-3 July!
so i'm gonna go to that one too!!! already booked my train tickets for saturday! (have decided against driving this time) - i can't wait!!! shame my 28-300 lens won't be arriving by then! :-(

[muscleflex]

i'm going to the airshow this weekend...do you guys think it's best to stick with RAW? or JPEG large?

I think i'll be taking my laptop with me as i'll definitely run out of space on my 512 :-(especially if i take RAW) but this would be heavy! i'll take 2 lenses with me... and a tripod! oh, and my camcorder of course!

[BigDan]

I was all set to go and then I looked at my rota for work. I blooming well working all weekend :( :( :( .
I found on the last couple of outings that RAW is the way to go (well for me anyway). I have used between 2 and 3 GIG per day since I got my 300d. That's why I got the Flashtrax XT (It'll read RAW aswell!!)

[bealie]

bet u will miss a good one to at waddington. i shot raw at kemble but only edited the jpg convertions, so still not decided myself

[muscleflex]

darn - i'll definitely have to bring my laptop. good thing i have a slimmer compaq alternative to my ibm so i will take that.
weather forecast is not so good tho.... :-(
