It's all been said by other members but I will still add my congrats - excellent exposures and I particularly think the Hind is just awesome. BTW what gear were you using?

Thanks!

I'm using a D2x and a D2xs. Nikon 80-400 on one and a 500 f4 with a TC on the other.

RobAnd a tripod, surely?

No, no tripod at all. Everything has to be shot hand held. You can't track fast moving and potentially almost vertical aircraft from a tripod.

RobBlimey! You're clearly a pretty big feller or you very much know that you've been out for a day after a few hours hand holding that gear - but that makes those shots all the more praiseworthy - great stuff!

Not so big. That's why the first airshow or two of the season is harder for me. Got to get back into being able to pan the big lens again. And then the painkillers after :)

As long as its not paracetamol then you should be OK.

Paracetamol would not get a license if it was brought to market now as it is so toxic.
Not recommended except at dosages below those stated on the Patient Information Leaflet!

I don't think that's even available here in the US :)

Mostly I just use ibuprofen these days.
