    I wish I got those free tickets off Fraz now. In retrospect an 8 hour round journey might have been worth it!!

    try to keep your lens around f/8-10, bump your ISO to keep your SS to a level that you can shoot with

    Re: Top guns

    Tend to agree but having said that it's a marvelous aircraft. Not a very good day yesterday, ended up in a storm and planes never returned before light levels dropped also i was always in the wrong location and i'll have to use some ev adj. today (last day, but i don't know how much flying there will be. ) . Bob,s advice worked well - thanks again, and will try some more variations ( peepers ain't as good as they were and am finding it difficult to see the viewfinder settings due to the glasses - may have to get a 'light meter' or a viewfinder correction thing.

    Anyway here are some from yesterday :
