Excellent pictures. I struggled with getting a decent prop blur, what shutter speed and focal length were you using? Handheld or tripod?

Mk1, second hand, bought it from a forum member and picking it up at RIAT. It's the only way my better half will let me buy lenses :D

They look good to me. I'll be using a 100-400 at RIAT on the weekend, can't wait to give it a go :)

I've got a 7D, so I'll effectively be getting a 640mm reach...

What about maximum focal length for 1/100, 1/160, 1/200 shutter speeds?

I'm in the process of buying FlyingGiraffe's 100-400 and picking it up at RIAT on Saturday :D

The weather is looking okay according to this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/6296658

I haven't tried panning techniques yet, I'll give it a go on the weekend. Should I be looking at 1/160 shutter speed, or is 1/200 fine with panning?

Hi guys, I'm off to RIAT on the weekend and was looking for some tips on improving my photos. I was fortunate to see a local air display last weekend and got some "good" ones using my Canon 7D and 70-200 f2.8 L. Most of the photos were shot at 200mm and I struggled to get a decent amount of...

Thanks guys, plenty of options available then(!) Surry Sam - I'm impressed with the quality of the 70-200MkII and TC MkII...

Some good ideas, plenty to think about. What's a MkI TC with the 70-200 Mk I like? And what about a MkII TC with the 70-200 MkI? This may be a decent first step with a view to selling on the 70-200 MkI in the future, plus I could save on hiring a lens and put the £70 towards the TC. This...

Hi guys, I've got a 70-200 f/2.8 Mk1 non IS and a 17-55 f/2.8 IS for my Canon 7D that work well together, but I need to add something with more reach. This is mainly for wildlife photo's, birds, zoo's, safari parks etc, but I'm also off to my first airshow in years and hope to add this my...

Well to be fair, the lens cap bent right in and buckled shattering the filter. I dread to think what would have happened without it!
