Farnborough AirShow

I know, i know there's been a massive influx of airshow pictures of the last week but here's mine. I struggled to get a correct exposure as the sun kept on popping in and out all the time, and people's heads kept on getting in the way when i was trying to get shots of the planes landing and taking off.

C & C welcomed as always......

Very nice

I was having the same problem with the light and that I was using some crap glass.

Ill try and get some of mine on later, though photobucket and flickr are uploading all my photos darker?

This is not as dark on my laptop or desktop both calibrated monitors :/

Great shots but some really need a bigger aperture to blur the background.

^Looking at the exif I don't think that would have been possible. Could always try panning at 1/80s or so and drastically reduce your keeper ratio

Nice shots, I was there on saturday. The displays were a bit disappointing (no F22, dreamliner, vulcan etc, all earlier in the week) but I'll go through some pics later in the week and see if I got anything good.

Thanks for the comments, nope i was at the lowest aperture already, i could have shot at a lower shutter speed, but conditions were often too bright for me to be able to do this.

I was there on saturday aswell, the vulcan was there! It flew last at 5.20, you missed a treat.

I thought so as well. This year it felt quite 'weak' if you know what I mean.

Eh really! I stayed to watch the A380 depart, was it just after that? I swear I heard on the radio in the morning that something was broken...! Ah well saw it at RIAT

Yea the Vulcan ended the show!

I was gutted the F22 was not there too

Photobucket has seriously downgraded my pics

EDIT: Any photos of the Vulcan?

Neither did I and I stayed around untill gone 7pm!

Ahahaha sorry I'm such a tool.

I went on Sunday lol.

A380 left at half five, hence me being confused by your vulcan flight at 5.20!
