Off to Cosford airshow tomorrow for first time or with Nikon 180-600. Any advice for using this lens as it's new to me? In particular, looking to use a tripod and gimbal for props and helis as my panning is poor. Shutter speeds about 1/250 or lower at full zoom, what stabilisation settings...

Thanks for the helpful replies, definitely a bit to think on there. Might look to borrow / rent an A1 for a weekend to cement my decision.

After a bit of advice on the best way forwards. Currently shooting (for pleasure only) on a Sony A7iv, subjects are landscapes, wildlife and a bit of aviation. I'm finding myself doing a little more sport photography now with my kids clubs and thinking of a kit change / upgrade. In an ideal...

220J here after an upgrade from a 413j which served me well for 7 years without a hitch. 220 is a great bit of kit for the money.

Really hope you heal fast. A thoughtful read that makes me think of the near misses I've had and the risks of getting too blase. Best wishes

I've got a feeling I'm missing something obvious here, but can anyone point out how to move a photo between galleries in 500px? I'm sure there used to be a drag and drop interface but can't find it anywhere :-( Thanks!

Mine’s off. Stretching memory here as haven’t moved that setting since new but I think it only affects jpgs and I shoot raw. Also remember a few issues with raw shots being underexposed if it was on, but could have just been learning curve.

Thanks GC, appreciate the suggestion

Looking to take an extended lunch and head up to see the Tornado fly past, can anyone suggest a good location to see them near Sealand?

I had the Sigma 150-600 Sport and found the weight to be an issue for extended periods of hand holding. I sold it on and got hold of a Nikon 200-500 from these forums and have been very happy with it. You lose a bit of zoom, but get a lot lighter package and the constant aperture. I've been...

Do you mean something like the BlackRapid range of straps - camera hangs by your side and slides up the strap when you want to take photos? Some people love them but I never got on with mine - tried a Peak Design Strap and that works a lot better for me when moving around - can rapidly shorten...

Pretty happy with mine for airshows, zoos and occasional wildlife. Used on a D500 and D750 and makes a very nice combination either way:

Agree - really looking forward to the MIG 29 - never seen one flying before

Any recommendations for what time to arrive without too much queuing?

Thanks for the tips, will have a look at both
