[QUOTE="MoonManMike, post: 69985, member: 10151"] Thanks Marcel. I did wonder that about the VR. Presumably, it makes no difference then if the VR is switched off while photographing moving objects? In fact, that raises another question. Is there any point in ever turning the VR off? Re 1/500th, the only potential 'issue' with that speed is that it would freeze the propellers. 1/320 gave a little movement although some of my shots were slightly blurred even at that speed. Maybe I need a little more panning practice? Thanks. I do recall the grey card 'trick' from many years ago when I had a pre-digital SLR. Generally, however, I usually opened up two stops from the meter reading, which was usually about right. Of course, one big advantage with digital is the ability to mess about with brightness etc post photo taking. I did wonder is switching from 200 ISO to 400 might give me a little more depth of field in the shots, which could help the focusing a little? Would this affect image quality much? The Spitfires were at an event at Duxford on 5th August 'Spitfires, Motors and Merlins' Essentially a Classic Car Show and Spitfire flying day.. There were three flying Spitfires in attendance on the day. If you like Spitfires (who doesn't!), they had a great day a year or two back when they had no fewer than 16 Spitfires flying in formation. They also had 4 Hurricanes flying together. A fantastic sight! Here's a - rather poor - pic of the Spitfires I took (on a Fuji bridge camera): [IMG]http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/moonmanmike/DSC_0223.jpg[/IMG] And here's a pic of the Hurricanes that a friend of mine took on his Nikon (D90, I think). I did a bit of editing on this one: [IMG]http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp232/moonmanmike/SepiaHurricanes-1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
