Hi mike welcome to the board, I visited white waltham for the first time this year on the way down to heathrow and thought it was a nice airfield that is probably very busy at the weekend we saw a fair bit of activity on a friday lunchtime

Very nice selection of pictures

looks to be a very interesting place

some great shots as usual andy :thumbs: interesting to hear your thoughts on back button focusing, I have been using it for a while now and still hit the front shutter button on the odd occasion looking to focus, but i have never really had it cost me any shots because you tend to start focus tracki...

it is somthing that i have stuck with and for fast moving subjects like motorbikes i seem to be getting a lot more keepers than using the shutter button for focusing i haven't really found any issues using back button focusing and actually find it quite natural as my thumb sits over the AF ON button...

on the pics I have taken above I'm guessing you would of dialled in 1/125th what sort of ISO would you have used ? cheers stu yes i would have started with 1/125th sec and then look at the shot on the screen zoom in on the prop see what it looks like and if not happy i will go for a slightly higher...

I'm in a bit a pickle here, its time to retire my faithful 600D, but I'm torn between the 7Dmk2 & 80D, both are of similar price. Pros & Cons for both, could anybody help, just a honest opinion I have the 7D mk11 and it is a fantastic camera well suited to aviation photography and if you shoot at a...
