Thanks chaps.
Quote:I know what I see from the shots Doug, but what I don't see is how many is it taking for you to come up with these fine shots........?
As you will appreciate Ken I've taken a lot of shots this weekend. I must have dumped almost as many as I kept to save memory space. You won't believe how many shots I got of a nice clear piece of sky. OK if you like skyscapes I suppose.
It was really asking a bit as I've only had the camera a few days & this was my first chance of any practice worth mentioning. I wasn't too confident & I'm pleasantly surprised at how many are worth keeping.
Quote:Is the camera working out fine or will we see better performance once you have used it for a month or so ?......This long zoom is showings its value with your aerial shots.....stops the props well with a fast shutter speed. Is this your choice or an auto function due to the bright day ?
The quality is fine. The problem is me. I'm not too happy with a couple of things. I still can't get on with that viewfinder & just hope I can get used to it. Also the shutter delay seems to vary which makes it very difficult for action photos of aircraft. Maybe there's a setting I don't know about. I used the Sport mode yesterday but wasn't too happy with the props in some of the shots. I thought the shutter speed might be a little too fast so I used fully automatic today. I haven't noticed much difference.

Great stuff !
Thanks for the kind words. You didn't see the ones I really wanted but didn't get.
PS. Some of the static shots were taken with my F401 - Old Faithful.
