[QUOTE="AC016, post: 78350, member: 9619"] I have taken thousands of pictures of aircraft, first with my D3000 and now with my D5100. In all honesty, when taking pics of aircraft at the airport, i just throw my camera into Auto.... yes, guilty as charged. However, because of the changing weather at the airport - cloud cover, amount of sun, etc. - i feel it's best for me to put it in Auto. I say this because instead of trying to change a setting and losing a shot, the camera will do it for you. This really comes in handy with the changing environment as i mentioned before, also because aircraft are coming in or taking off in multiple directions. Anyhow, this is the only time i use Auto - maybe shame on me - and certainly is nothing that you should follow. It jsut works for me in this instance and it helps me just enjoy being out there and not worrying about settings. The 18-200 will be great and i think all you will really need. Work on your paning technique and don't stop panning when you take the shot, follow through with your pan while taking the shot, just like skeet shooting. Have fun:) [/QUOTE]
