The K3 has a menu option for bulb mode for one shutter press to start the exposure and another to stop it.
Doesn't this still run the risk of camera shake when you start and stop the exposure ?

Anywhere from half way up Cad West to the top of Cad West, depending on what you want to show, mine were from half way up, Robs from the top.

I stayed here

Good Food, the owner very helpful, rooms comfortable and about 1.5 miles from the cad West LayBy

Hi Greg, it really is excellent, you'll prob spend much of the time chatting and banter with many togs on the hill, for no more than 25 seconds of action, but its worth it

The more eyes the better, they do just come at you so fast and there's no noise until there past you.

Yes, as they leveled out they either went straight over the lake and exited the loop, or banked left and continued, these we shot about 1/2 way up the quite steep bit going towards the first stile.

Hi Percy,

Not really, restrict your movement toooooo much, they don't necessarily fly level

Hi Percy,

certainly take and prob use the Sigi 70- 200, although I don't find the 100 - 300 at all heavy, as I was shooting at 100mm ish, I used my 70 - 200 F2.8 on my second day, just for the extra stop and easier handling.

Hi Percy,

Sigma 100 - 300 F4 @ between 100mm to 135mm and these have had a small crop. Mid Point on Cad West, TBH, don't need massive lenses unless your at the top or want to shoot the aircraft approaching, but then your stuffed if you want the full aircraft knife edge for example.
