47. when next in diamond star with nose down do up seatbelt :)

*Having read the list has made me realise how I have settled into favoured settings which is ok for my aerial shoots.

• You've got some nice shots there. What settings do you use ?

I've started mixing 1/125 - 1/200 - 300mm or 500mm on the ground for props and choppers.
Keeps a bit of blur without freezing, though is harder to catch things sharp during a pan. 
1/500 for fast jets. Let the camera set the aperture.

When airborne, 300mm. 1/500 to 1/1000. Minmises the shakes. Aperture F4.5  to F8.  
I've heard it said that you should go higher than F8-F11 when theres no lens hood , because the light spills in from the side. But I find it easier to shoot without one in a cockpit.    

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
