That is great Tooks, nice depth of field there which really shows up the Owl.

Thanks Tooks, I used my K20.

I was one of the few keen souls yesterday to brave the elements and went to the Autumn Airshow at Duxford yesterday, apart from being wet it was very cold thankfully the DA*300 is weatherproofed...

Credit also to the pilots who managed to put on a display despite the weather.

Like the shot of the bi-plane landing, with the movement of the blades and plenty of colour

I'm relatively new to the RAW format having only taken the odd photo as most of my work is done in JPEG. Once the airshow season has finished on Sunday at Duxford I plan to read up on it and to take some practice shots and maybe try RAW for the airshow season next year. Can anyone recommend a good book that covers using RAW for beginners?

Cheers

Thanks for all of your comments folks, much appreciated.

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.

Thanks Pete I'll look forward to reading that.

Looking at other photographers at airshows some of them do have 2 bodies for that very reason I suppose. Thanks for your help and advice Mannesty.

What type of photography do use your lens for Gwyn?
