Challenging conditions for photography with lowering skies, intermittent rain and general yukkiness. Not helped by trying to shoot hairyplanes with a non-chipped lens that therefore won't allow shutter priority to get prop blur, and no IS. In the circumstances, I thought I did OK ish. If you think these are bad, you should have seen the ones I deleted!
(always wanted to see this bad boy!)

So you were forced to use your experience and skill, and the results show that you managed perfectly well without the technology.
Excellent pictures.

Wonderful captures. Lovely to see the Slingsby, though the one I learnt in was a chunky T21. Happy memories.
Well done indeed!

Most enjoyable flight I had was an Anson from RAF Gaydon to RAF Honington, low enough to have a good view of the countryside all the way not just take off and landing

I've seen the Petrel on a day with clear skies and with height to spare it's reasonably aerobatic. Just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen fly! This chap had better luck with his video than the chap stood next to me one show there videoing a modern aerobatic plane, he must have picked up a barrage of f-bombs as I couldn't believe what the thing was doing! |

Lovely set, strangely the Bronco is actually the one of these I see most often. It displays at our local airshow most years  Getting decent prop blur without camera shake generally gives rise to some rejects, but theres nout wrong with this lot! |

Thank you, but you didn't see how many went in the fuckit bucket owing to blur, oof, not all in frame.... Surely everybody only exhibits their only best work? At least digital allows us to throw away images at no cost, so we can experiment and learn. On the old AP forum, I once suggested how much fun it might be to give one of the people who shoots thousands of images, and only keep a few, an old manual SLR and one roll of Kodachrome for their next outing. I suspect that the whole roll would be used in the first few minutes (if they were really patient) and then they would be very frustrated.
I recently acquired a book of railway photographs taken by somebody from the 1920s to the late 1950s, and the earlier stuff was shot on glass negatives. In the introduction he wrote that 'modern photographers' didn't know how lucky they were, being able to use roll film and perhaps carry so many films with them that they might be able to take 24 or 36 shots in a day, whereas he could only carry 4 or 5 glass plates when he went out for the day. And presumably a heavy tripod too, since in the early years his monochrome plates were rated at 10 ASA, like 1940s Kodachrome. |

I suspect that the whole roll would be used in the first few minutes (if they were really patient) and then they would be very frustrated. It took me 4 days. I learned photography using Kodachrome, when one roll of 36 exposures cost about as much as I earned for working 8 hours per assembling transformers in the school holidays (£2.00). This was a great incentive to avoid wasted shots. My most extravagant use of Kodachrome was during my first trip to Venice, in 1999. I was there for 4 days, and took 4 rolls of film Kodachrome 200. At the end of day 3 I was searching for another roll, and could only find Ektachrome 200 in a small pharmacy. However, one of the shots taken with that film was later printed as a 36x24 inches Cibachrome by Jessops and then professionally framed. It still graces a wall in my living room. |

Some nice pics.
I haven't been to Shuttleworth for quite a while (never actually been to a show there) which is a bit odd as it is just up the road.
I think the lack of shutter priority would flummox a lot of newcomers to photography, whereas those of us from the stone-age know it's just aperture-priority back to front
