Went to the Southport Airshow yesterday. My first real chance n a while to get my camera out without having kids in tow, (or bored wife!).

Here are a few of my shots. C&C welcome.

But! I'm glad to be back.

I haven't really done much with my camera for too long now. Sudden (unexpected) change of job, longer hours etc etc.
Anyhow. I've got my camera back out a bit in the last few months and thought I'd pop back in and see how everyone is.
So, Hi! How are you all?

To be honest, yours are cracking shots.
As you say, slow shutter and practice panning. I think I ended up using manual mode and setting shutter speed to suit lighting conditions with a few practice shots.
My drifting shots are usually on mud in a cold forest somewhere.

121 is only a very short walk from looks like a nice pub which also does food. It's called "The Old Trooper", on the A41 just outside Chester.
I keep promising myself I'll make it my base for a pleasant Sunday walk one day.

Thanks for the comments Mc. I've shot this bridge before, but usually from the other side. I liked the way the foreground trees framed it from this angle.

Very Gothic, almost sinister. I love the mono treatment.
I like this.

I took my son for a ride along the canal at Chester, while the Mrs took my daughter shopping.
Managed to grab a few shots without him complaining too much!

C&C welcome.

There s is one in here Nigel that stands head and shoulders (excuse the pun) above the rest and that one is number 4. I appreciate the humour in these shots, but I appreciate the image of the fourth one even more, it really does hit home. It's the framing, the isolation from the background and the sharp incisive nature that attracts me.

Regards

You see, that's why I love reading comments on here.
I knew I loved number 4, but couldn't have articulated it like that.
