Biggin Hill 26.06.10

Had a cracking day at Biggin yesterday. As always it was a varied flying display - highlights for me were the Matadors, VC-10 and F16. Here's a few from a hard days shooting - had an absolute mare with the 100-400L, for some reason, with a huge lack of sharp shots. C&C welcome aswell as it's the first time I've edited on my new laptop.
























Hope they're of interest!

Some great angles in there and some nice composition. I like the Chinook with the underslung load

[planemadbird]

Nice set, I like the close ups

Statics are superb, Dean. Worth sticking one into the competition.

Nice set Dean - Chinook for me

Like the unusual angles. I found as the day warmed up the haze blurred increasing numbers of my shots and the sharpest were the few arrivals before the display. Nice set there

Thanks guys, will have to enter something into the competition then!

Someone mentioned that on another forum too - it's frustrating but I suppose it's not as bad as something actually being wrong with the lens.

F-16 shot for me, very nice

Good set Dean. Arty-farty shots aren't really my thing, but you seem to have a knack for it, with some every clever compositions, the Polish flag in particular

Nothing wrong with these, some great compositions there

You're not the only one who struggled with a 100-400, mine refused to focus at all during the late afternoon

[DeanW]

Thanks again chaps
Hopefully it'll be a little cooler at Waddington this weekend so the lens can perform a bit better!
