Having had the (mis?)fortune to be on the groundcrew for the Nimrod static display at Yeovilton last weekend, I took my spanky new D50 along, and took some pics. These are by far the best of a bad bunch, but I did put all the automatic settings off, and did it the old fashioned way.....

The Red Arrows. I couldn't have felt happier about this shot if I tried!

Dancing Lynxes

The "view from the office"

And finally, St Mary Magdalenes, Taunton

Again, any critique happily recieved. I want to get better....
 
That first shot is incredible!!! Love it!

Nice office too. It's a pitty about the lynxes that you didn't use a slower shutter speed to show the movement in the blades though, at the moment they just look pasted into a white sky :(

Nikon D50, and a Tamron AF70-300mm f/4-5.6 LD.

1st was at 300mm focal length. 1/3200s exposure, f6 and ISO 200.

2nd at 250mm, 1/1000s, f5.3 and ISO 200.

There are more almost that good, but I haven't had time to get them presentable yet..... ;)

Thanks for the technicial data. Look forward to seeing the rest.
 
How did you get the shot inside the nimrod? Was it down to sweet talking? Or is it literally your office?

EDIT: I've just your details. Thats a pretty cool job.
