I just read through this long thread only to realise the OP was a year ago. I'm glad I didn't start typing out a long response...

The lady playing the Eb bass is my favourite, but then I'm biased. K.

I know that normally one tries to get as much detail visible on the plane as possible, but in this case I rather like the silhouette with just the wings glinting in the sunshine. I'd be interested in whether the other air show aficionados like this or not.

About 120 degrees I guess. Guess being the word. K.

Just spent a fun day at the Duxford Air Show (apart from taking two hours to get out of the car park). Remarkable quantities of camera equipment and long (and largely expensive) glass. Given that, can any one tell me why:
1. One needs to use the hi-speed motordrive function and take five or six identical images of a static subject on the ground?
2. Why one needs to use one's built in flash to photograph a plane in flight about a mile away?
3. What is the purpose of having the lens hood reversed when taking a photograph?
Answers on a postcard, please...
By the way, I was one of only three people I saw who was shooting at any film, although I'll admit I only shot one roll of Fuji Neopan 1600 compared to several hundred digital images. My £40 Tamron 70-300 wasn't ideal but some of the shots were OK-ish. Not up to Mike-p's standard, but not too bad for my first air show.

I have the M40 and when I use it, more often than not, it is on my MX. I need to practice more though, the tiny rings are a little fiddly.
