The first helicopter is a Westland Scout.

The bi-plane is probably a Camel. But don't quote me on that as it seems a little under armed to be one.

One little hint for ya there Craig. When you shoot indoors with questionable lighting, if you can find something to set the camera upon or brace against, you can reduce the blur due to motion substancially. If you have a tri-pod, bring that along and use the timer function on the camera so you don't have to create movement while you release the shutter.....it works well.

I shot this shot last year in the dark while Wendy and I were in Vancouver for medical reasons. This is the hospital we went to and they have it illuminated like this, as part of the Xmas celebrations.  I was standing across the street and had the camera braced on a light standard ........ nothing fancy about that, but as you can see, it does work in a pinch.

Hi Craig,

one trick that my uncle gave me is to use a bag of small peas. Simply put it to rest on any surface, shape it to have a flat surface and locate the camera on top of it. I use mine often, don't bother too much about the looks by-passers give me.  Wink

Also, try a release trigger, that you screw to the shutter button. Not very costly, and you don't need to use the timer feature of the camera.

My two cents.
