Whilst I'm sorting out my new MF lenses I thought I'd post a brief photographic introduction to what I do with an AF lens....All taken with the Canon 100-400 f4.5/5.6 L zoom mounted on a 7D or a 400D.

Now, do I try bringing the Pentacon 300/4 up the hill next time I'm out?

Or perhaps you were standing on a some high ground and then zoom in with that telephoto lens? |

Yep! There are designated low flying areas in the UK that various armed forces use...certain valleys are used more than others so it's a case of waiting and hopefully being rewarded...
Thanks for the kind words

#7 for me. That kind of panning induces the motion sensation perfectly. _________________ Moderator Himself |

I spy a few Cad West/Machloop shots in there if I'm not mistaken (Typhoon shots?). I'm planning on going over that way in the summer with a Photosniper (possibly, I'm awaiting a reply to see if it's going to cause problems), and a Pentacon 300/4.
Your panning on the #7 is spot on. _________________ Too many to list. |

So what armed forces have been flying Lancasters and Vulcans in this age of digital cameras? _________________ Sevo |

Sounds about right.....every now and then I take a bit of video with the 7D and 100-400 (video mode doesn't like AF ) and setting it to infinity usually works....

Yeah....a really nice spot...just need a lot of patience. I'm up there quite a bit so let me know when you're around and I might see you there....Will try lugging the pentacon 300/4 up next time I go to see what results I can get

The Lancaster, named the City of Lincoln, is part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. It is one of only two Lancasters still flying; the other is in Canada. A search for "XH558" will reveal the story of the Vulcan. _________________ John |

The lancaster is a great shot. My grandfather who was killed in the war in a Halifax, also flew these at one point before being promoted to the 298 squadron SOE.
These photos remind me of some of the posters i used to have up in my room as a kid, after visiting BAE on an open day _________________ My web site www.digital-darkroom.weebly.com
Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don't work out, just take another shot. |

Brilliant series Michael.
About the Vulcan, as an ATC Cadet in the early 60s I once had an air experience flight in a Vulcan when we were on summer camp at RAF Waddington, near Lincoln. This was a great honour, as it was at the height of the cold war and there was an amber alert while we were there. We were airborne for nearly 8 hours, following a roughly X-shaped patrol course over the UK and out over the Atlantic and North Sea. I was strapped into a tiny seat next to the the Flight Engineer and the only window was a tiny round one behind the cockpit, you can just see it in the shiny streak above the roundel, which I couldn't reach. I was bored after about half an hour! _________________ Peter - Moderator

It's a very rewarding hobby on the right day and very frustrating on the wrong one....The vulcan and lancaster shots were taken at the Windermere airshow last year
#7 was shot at 1/40 (Tucanos are fairly common so I don't worry about messing the shot up )
