Excellent captures, here's hoping on the young when they emerge.

Sounds like it then, presume you've double checked the batteries are loaded correctly, have you looked to see if the terminals in the flash are corroded ?

Morning Andy

Daft suggestion, have you got the shutter speed set to the correct sync speed or below ?

Wow, stunning detail with the Lighthouse shot, the seascapes are also superb.

A further mono conversion from Cosford, just a smoke machine, with a couple of twin halogen lights on a tripod

Typo Michael, easily done !!

Thanks Nigel,

Quite often you can have good light with the aircraft coming towards you, then as it gets parallel you've got Cad East as a BG so you have to take that into account when choosing your settings.

And to make things interesting you've 20 seconds to drop the settings from a jet to a herc, I leave my settings for jets and then it's a quick ISO down and aperture up to get the shutter speed down to ideally 100 sec ish or in this case hope the panning technique hols up.

Pleased with this one, shot the week before last, panned at 1/40th Sec F9 Sigma 100 - 300 F4 @ 100mm - Handheld - 100 ISO




Plus a Hawk from the same trip 1/2000 sec Sigma 100 - 300 F4 @ 290mm with a small crop - Handheld - 800 ISO

These look superb John.

Thanks Peter and Rob,

It's certainly a great location even without the jets.
