Hi There,
I went to the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) at Fairford UK last Saturday. I had a great time, although there was nothing particularly interesting flying, it was an excellent display and of course a great photo opportunity. I used my Olympus OM-1 with a 100-200 zoom + a 2X teleconverter . My biggest mistake and regret was that I didnt use a fast enough shutter speed (SS) with the zoom lens (400mm in total) so my pictures suffered from camera shake. Usually I use a higher SS than the mm of zoom, so for example, with my 400mm zoom I would like to of used 1/500 SS but because I was using 200 film everything would have been underexposed, perhaps I would of got away with it, I was using Fuji Superia which I have found to be tolerant to underexposing.
Any way enjoy the pics..
