This was a shot from Cosford Airshow this year. It's a Bristol 188 also called the Flaming Pencil that was built in the late 50's as a testbed to understand supersonic flight and the effect of heat on the airframe. The test pilots must have a lot of courage taking that through the sound barrier.

Some great shots here! We use our G7x primarily for video but its great to see so many good looking shots being taken with it. The star trails have inspired me to take some of my own now!

Bringing it back with a bang, these are both fantastic images.Bring this old thread back. I still carry my G7X everywhere.
I've just been on a 7 mile walk in the lakes and when returning to the car my thoughts where, I wish I'd taken the G7X.

What's safety shift?Oxford Street ... the G7X is great for hand-held long exposures ... ensure Safety Shift is on.
Love the pics BTW

Thanks Billy
Safety Shift, as far as I can understand, is a Canon peculiarity. In Tv (Shutter Priority) mode set at say 1/2 sec to get motion blur, enable Safety Shift and the set shutter speed will be overridden. Your shot may be taken at something like 1/50 sec (so no need for tripod) but the result is still cool motion blur + low ISO when set on Auto. It seems by magic the speed is increased to prevent overexposure but the result is what you'd expect from your pre-set shutter speed.
Add the Integrated ND filter to the equation and it does little to effect the shutter speed but does give a nice result.
I don't know if anyone can add to this ?? ... but here's a brief explanation ... https://photofocus.com/2012/08/19/what-the-heck-is-safety-shift-canon-users-listen-up/
HERE ARE A COUPLE of G7X hand-held shoots posted last year.

Here's one from me taken a couple of weeks ago ... a simple pavement shot but with a wonderful wide feel (FG pavement) ... I like.
I don't think you get quite the same from other 24mm equivalents I've used.
And I see it in the above Supertramp shot. ... big FG with depth.

Yep ... foreground.
I remember the days when AUTO was for sissies, now, unless you want dof or motion blur, Auto is more intelligent than us humanoids.
Been having a play with Night Scene ... intriguing, but it seems to reduce your field of view ... therefore no beautiful wide angle which the G7X does so well.
Yep, full auto
or it might have been hand held night shot

I still have the MK1. Ace little camera. For the extra money I don't see the MK2 worth it.
