Starting off with the ones that didn't fit into any of my other categories

This was my first outing with the 100-400.....I'm still learning, but am much happier with the push and pull now, and have found it's sweetspot at around f8....unfortunately it was a bit dark today, but the sun did come out a couple of times making some nice shots (the TAM ones being my favourite of the day)

It was nice to meet Rob, and the chair was recieved gratefully ;)....maybe again sometime, and hopefully a few more people might make it (Omag ;) ;) )

A nice new legacy....someone rides in style  8-)

only 3!!!!  though quite an impressive 3 at that....Turkmenistan 757, Eva MD11 and BMI A320 :D

Two of my favourites of the day, as the sun came out with the grey sky behind :)

Maybe he was overseeing his horse that we saw being transported on the perimeter road mic...  ;D   ;D

Fantastic shots mate, and you're welcome to the chair anytime  ;)

Nice enough start Mic. :)
The shots where the sun isn't lighting the subjects do look a little underexposed though, maybe best to use a half or full stop of exposure compensation just in case you catch the subject at a time when the sun is away, and if it isn't, then it's easily corrected in post. They do look a bit over-sharpened, but that's easily corrected. :)

Love the runway markings reflected in the nose of the TAM  8-)

Looks like the light was unkind to you apart from the TAM shots, looks like you had a good time nonetheless

I was using 3/4 Exposure compensation for the dark ones.....it really didnt help having a blue sky behind for a lot of the time

The oversharpening is probably because I'm used to editing down to about 1500 px wide.....800 exaggerates it a bit...i'll cut down on the USM for the next ones ;)
