That is a really fine set - a great encapsulation of a pretty good season. Many thanks for putting the diary together - making the choices must have been very difficult!!

What camera/lens settings do you use please?

Thanks all for the comments.

Red, both a Nikon D90 with the 18-105 kit lens, and Nikon D7000 with Sigma 50-500. Bit difficult to offer settings for so many kinds of image, but mainly F8 for fast stuff, and somewhere between 125th to 320th for props or depth of field pix.

This is a superb post, stand-outs for me are the silhouetted static Spitfire and the Bronco. So much impact!
