This was all a bit of an experiment and I really didn't know what to expect from the results. I actually used a set speed of 1/100th to try to eliminate as much movement as I could as I feared that I would still get some showing even with IS in use. That's probably too low to prevent blur in most o...

Well done for experimenting, especially given the inclement wx! The Swiss A321 is rather atmospheric with the rain; I would be very happy with that shot. You say the lens is f/1.8, did you shoot with it set at f/1.8? That would be the obvious thing to do, to enable you set a lower ISO. I would sugge...

As you say, Heathrow prefer the 27s and will keep operating on them with up to a 5kt tailwind component. The relationship between relative wind angle and wind component is not linear (they are vector components for those that like maths!). This means that for winds that are 45 degrees from the direc...

The bright and sunny livery on this easyJet A319 about to be delivered to Allegiant was quite a contrast to the mist and snow one morning at Stansted in March 2018:

Definitely worth getting up for, it looks fabulous in that light.

Thanks.

There's a problem with the poll in that only one option can be selected, rather than two. I'll wait for you to fix it before voting!

It's a treat to see the Air Senegal and Air Caraibes examples. Colourful and pretty rare in Europe once delivered.

A great record of the morning Andy. Probably the best Aerozone morning we've had so far!

Some lovely angles there Andy.

I'm rather behind with my editing, so these are already four months old!

The first shot is magnificent!

Lovely shots Andy. It certainly is a smart machine.

A selection from a busy day at Ascot back in June. Andygolfer has already comprehensively covered this event, and I was standing next to him, so some of these shots are similar to his. Many thanks Andy for your information on the viewing location. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48491265232_fffd...

What a lovely set. I must take a drive to one of their open days.

Lovely and crisp despite the low shutter speed for the prop blur. Excellent work.

Fabulous machine!
