Spitfire!

Hi

One of my better photos taken at the Biggin Hill airshow last month - quite pleased

with this one.

Thanks to those of you on here that gave me a few tips before I went - greatly

appreciated.

Please view large and let me know what you think!

many thanks

Top shot for the most iconic aircraft of all time, nice work.....Ray

Best regards

Admirable capture. I love old Spitfires! There used to be one at our local airport when I was a child and it was always at the 'Fly-In Breakfast' that my Dad would take us young children to. This one should be framed!!! The balance of colour is beautiful!

Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Hi Chris! Superb photo of a beautiful aircraft! Saying that and if you allow me, I may tell you that I also like aircrafts, have some photos in my portfolio and also have a 100-400mm CANON lens like yours: this lens is very good and in my opinion "works" better with fnumber lower than the one you took this photo (f14)...But again: this photo is beautiful! Best regards!

Thanks for your comment, sorry for taking so long to reply!

I was using shutter priority in order to avoid 'freezing' the  propellor blades so I wasn't intentionally using f14 - but I will take note of your comment. In any case, it is a superb lens!

many thanks
