Hi Gareth,

The shots of the Reds are very good (very dramatic framing works very well). The Spitfire & Hurricane shots have the titles the wrong way round and more blur on the props would be preferable. You need to be below 1/250th to blur props (depends on the aircraft). You've nailed the exposure (which is often very difficult with small & dark subjects against the sky.

Spits & Hurricanes are very small aircraft and it's difficult to fill the frame at typical air display distances without something around 400mm or longer.

John.

Nice shots! You made ID errors though. The 1st shot is a Spitfire, the 2nd & 3rd are a Hurricane.

Thanks all. Yes, got my markings mixed up, should have spotted the wing shapes and saw that.
