Hi,
This was my first proper outing at an airshow, I usually take pictures of Civil aircraft at the airports.
As you can see from the Eurofighter, it looks a muddy mess, the lighting on the day was less than helpful but I can't entirely blame that as I have seen some better examples on other Cosford 2007 post's other forums

EXIF:
Camera Model Canon EOS 30D
Shooting Date/Time 10/06/2007 14:18:21

I had on that day tried every option, be it shutter priority,aperture priority, higher ISO settings,exposure compensation.
I had a Bigma 50-500 so was trying a shutter speed of arounf 1/500 on average to avoid the shakes. and had also experimented with different metering modes but not evaluative, I always make sure the centre sensor is pointed at the aircraft so as to meter off the aircraft and not the sky.
Please can anyone guide me in the right direction here, as I am determined to crack this, and want a better outing at RIAT next month armed with more knowledge. please be as critical as you like I really want to learn more about this
Thanks in advance
Steve
