Seen her today in the forth....
Was crossing the bridge and she was docked just off the fueling station after the rail bridge... 40yrs old and still looks stunning |

I think she's arriving early morning around 7am and then departs Greenock at 6pm at around high tide | ||||

Display was at 12:15 - Sky was greyer than that in reality (made it bluer by adjusting White Balance) | ||||

Cheers... it was the pick of the bunch... even then I had to crop it a bit. I'll post more once I process them through photoshop for some lightening etc
Same as above but tweaked

Yer photo's of the Red Arrows are simply superb you've nailed the focus bang on with such a fast moving subject.
Do you take pics for a living? If not why not 
What kinda Camera set up are you using btw? |

| Stuball |
I reckon she is using a canon EOS 350D with a lens capable of a 170mm focal length (I'm thinking 80-200?) and f/9
Embrace the power of EXIF

| Stuball |
Am I cramping your style here???

More likely to be a 70-300mm lens as there are a couple at 300mm -

Nope Fjord not proffesional, am just a happy snapper
Thank you very much for that 
Its a box brownie , ah just asked the pilot nicely to stop so ah could take a piccie
KIDDIN 
Yes boys, its a Canon 350D....two lenses:- 18-55mm 75-300(which I'm told is almost equiv to a 400 in a non digital slr) All i know is I put it on action mode, burst mode and fire like F*ck, shoutin "c'mon..focus, focus...FOCUS!!!!"
...and of course practicing my panning technique, while at the same time  the instructions on how to lock the exposure 
300 pics later i got a couple in the frame and in focus (2meg card awfy useful )
I keep it on programmed most times, unless I really want a movey thing or a blurry thing(technical talk here )
