Cheers Peter.

I took about 1500 this year...by a small margin my most ever on one day. Takes a long time constantly shuttling back and fro, and that's after viewing them all at least once to see what you've got. Not helped either by an anomaly i've noticed with the use of compatible batteries on my K-50 over several years so not a one-off.

After 500 shots on one battery the camera automatically starts to open another folder and puts the next 500 images in that then closes it and opens another folder.

I've got 4 different folders from the day's shooting rather than one long one and have to keep exiting one and going into a different one when looking for particular aircraft.

The batteries never allow you to take more than 500 images before coming up wth the message..."battery depleted"...so you have to change batteries then which triggers the new folders. With the OEM battery which I used last on this occasion it allowed me to take more than 500
shots in one go.

Anyway i'll post some more over the next two days then that'll be it for this year.

A selection from about a quarter of the static display and aircraft taxying during the display. The flying display overran...we only had about 50-55 mins after we had packed up to get round the nearest part of the static to us before the airfield shut at 1930.

Just a few shots of crowds and individuals shot mainly from our static position on the fenceline in the Green Zone.

Hi,

welcome to the forum. What camera have you got and do you need any specific advice to get started?

Great job as ever Bill...you really do justice to each place you visit.

I've never been either, this is as close as i've got! A place though definitely on my 'bucket list'.

Favourites for me...nos 13,7,1 and 3.

regards

Yeah, after that Top Gear episode last series, reminds me of Matt le Blanc on his speedy tractor.
