An impressive display by the Typhoon at Waddington on Thursday, hopefully the routine will be forming the basis of the 2011 air show routine.

Lovely shots, the first one especially!

Thanks for the comments guys

Just found these.... WOW! Superb shots! Very keen on the first one matey!

Nice pics as always Gord!

How did you find the Nikon kit?

Thanks!

A good start with the kit but still learning the finer points of the Nikon system. I managed to stuff up the 100 Sqn special Hawk because the AF selector wasn't on continuous servo. I'm not use to setting it with a physical selector yet and with Canon I could review the settings at a quick glance of either the top or rear LCD screens. Not so with a Nikon.

Apart from little niggles like that I'm getting on well. Missing the 100-400 a little bit. The 70-200 f/2.8 I got to replace it is short but is very sharp. I've got a 1.4x TC so will have a play with that.

The 300 f/2.8 is just as good as the Canon version I use to own (see above!).

I'm blogging my experience on my sight. Looking to get a trip to Wales for the ultimate test as soon as I can.

A cracking set of pictures. If that is the start with your new equipment, it looks as though you are going to enjoy using it.

Superb shots and an excellent website too, great stuff.
