i like the last one most...as if u r going to get shot did u use ** 100-400mm for this?...also, are these cropped? im just wondering cause i have a 55-250mm on a 1.6 crop sensor (450D) and planning to go to duxford in october.

Thanks for looking.

I used a 300 + 1.4 converter so it was 420mm on a 1.3 crop, but at duxford you need any thing from 200mm to 500/600mm, as the distance they display can vary so much.

A couple of these shots are cropped about 50%.

Lovely shots Ken, #5 the pick for me.

Quanta, I borrowed a friend's 100-400 for my 450D on Saturday and sometimes even that was too short. I think you might struggle for most of the display at 250mm.

Fantastic pictures, love the prop blur and well captured on No.4 and the Tog in the bomb aimers seat!

 

[quanta]

thanks for the info Ken and Ben.
Will have a look at the autumn one from the opposite side of the road in october first and of course...have to hunt for a longer lens if 250 is too small.

Good set, a bit more empty space in 2&3 for them to fly into and they will sing.

No1 is a peach.

 

[cambsno]

[puddleduck]

[Donki]

Great set! I especially like numbers 2 and 3.

I'm looking forward to catching these guys at Leuchars Will have the same lens and teleconverter - will just have to keep my fingers crossed I'll get them all in frame.
