Tried going as slow as 1/80 on some of these. Will have to experiment with trying to get full rotor blur - I think a tripod and some filters will be needed!

I like these, particularly the colours and the sharp details.

Great pictures, but really would have liked to have seen all of the rotor blades.

Thanks, chaps. This new 300mm f4 is a cracking lens Roll-on Leuchars airshow!

I can imagine Bet everyone has their fingers crossed there's no fog too

Here's a few uncropped ones with most of the blades in frame...
This one is at 1/80 and still the blades don't have much movement. Some ND filters and a tripod would likely be needed to go much slower.

1/125 @ f22

1/100 @ f32

Hopefully we'll get a few night-time refuellers later in the year - could get some interesting long exposure shots with them...
