    G'day mate

    Always good fun to sit quietly under some activity and shoot the occasional pic (in between sipping something nice maybe !!)
    A set of beaut shots here

    Now - I suppose that you noticed the swirl of air movement behind each propellar??

      Nothing gets past you Phil. Full zoom at 400. At first glance when viewing the images on my PC, I thought something went weird with the shots but realised it was the air disturbance caused by the props - it's rather interesting that the camera picks up that sort of thing. I intend to visit the viewing platform at Perth Airport soon to get some shots of the planes coming and going. It's a pretty good spot to get good action shots.
