A couple of shots from Yesterday's Duxford Spitfire Day. Apologies for the quality, I've just about got the camera sorted but I still can't quite get my head around post processing! ::)

I was driving past Duxford yesterday with my dad and saw three Spitfires in formation being chased by a lone Spitfire. They looked great.
Nice photos!

Timeless photos,

Spitfire is such an awesome aircraft, One of the best moments of my life was getting to sit in an airworthy Spitfire

Very nice....looks like a fun day...:)

Might want to knock your shutter speeds down a bit for the props though (1/200 is good)

Those are fine shots- I can't complain about the size and weight, it works.
But I see they are a little "lightweight"... I don't know what you use, but I've been using the (freeware) GIMP for a long time, and only recently discovered that you can see precisely what the file size will be as you re-scale the image, based on the percentage you select.

Makes it real easy to get the most out of each one, yet easily stay under the 150K limit.

Cheers chaps for the tips and comments. :) I'm still quite new to this DSLR business ::). This was only my second attempt with the 300mm lens and I'm still using the pre-set programs on the camera. I will get there though! The post processing may take me a little longer.
