Lydd Airshow 09-09-2006 (lotsa pics)

...thanks for the detailed reply Ronnie! Some very interesting tips there, its a shame that the airshow season has more or less come to an end as there are several I would love to try...

I've just started using a Panasonic DMC-FZ7 and this is my first foray into digital photography having always used Canon EOS film cameras. The FZ7 has a lens "equivalent to 36mm to 432mm on a 35mm film camera". Taking static shots at max resolution in TIFF format is a breeze and the results are very good...

For me, the problem with taking flying shots is the shutter lag between images, even when in "machine-gun" mode. I appreciate that practice makes perfect and that the sooner I aquire a monopod to steady the camera/sweep, and perfect the art of taking panning pictures, the better my images should become... or perhaps I should save up the extra pennies for a dedicated 35mm digital with the option of adding lens etc (Nikon, Canon etc)...

Cheers,
