Old Warden 20th Sept

Here are a few photos that I took last week at the Old Warden Evening Air Display - it was also the maiden outing of my new DA* 300mm and the first time I have used a prime at an airshow. All the images were taken in JPEG, I'm just starting to play about with RAW. They were taken with my K20D on the Premium picture setting.
Hope you all enjoy the photos.

Very nice shots of some beautiful machines.
I think it's worth reading up on using RAW - you can attain much sharper shots than the premium jpeg settings (on my K10d at least).

Very nice photos indeed. The only thing I would suggest is a tiny bit of curves adjustment for the first Spitfire photo so that the plane is a little less dark but you retain the colour in the sky.

Thanks for showing them to us. Looks like the 300* is a winner.

Cheers, Kris.

These Airfix kits are just amazing, and I cant even see the string

Nice shots Rob, I'd have been happy with any one of them. Looks like the 300mm is going to earn its keep.

Thanks for all of your comments folks, much appreciated.

I know how this is done, you suspend the model from the nose and put the camera on its side - no one looks for the string there
