I still can't believe I managed this
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=5783759 I simply can't believe I managed this shot... Taken at 1/5th of a sec shutter speed, ISO 1000, handheld. The lens was a Nikon 18-200 using Vibration Reduction mode. Continuous shooting mode, this is the 2nd out of 4 shots. No.1 came out slightly blurred because of my finger pressing the release button, and No.4 came blurred because I released the button. :lol:

Nice one Mark!! I can't imagine myself getting a usable photo at 1/5 sec with all the IS (VR to you Nikonians) in the world. And I don't imagine tripods would be welcome objects in airliner cockpits ... I'm hoping to see more Malta Air Spotters LHR photos on the net. Is anyone uploading?

Not yet Charles - Having shot 2200 pics, it's a bit difficult to start chosing and editing the ones that would possibly make it on jp.net

2200? Jeeezus! :shock:

Yes Charles... I shot in continuous mode, sometimes even 20 shots per landing aircraft.. At least now everything is backed up on 8 CDs...

Ghamel kuragg !! My Fairford photos are on 25 CDs !! ...as yet I am not even through a quarter of them (uploading) !!

great pic!!
