Lovely set, wish i got some good light all im getting is grey to white skies
Weather was very changeable, blue sky one direction very grey the other. I prefer a little cloud cover as a backdrop, but yes the weather hasn't helped much lately.

what gear and settings for these great shots?
I use a Nikon D500 with a Sigma 150/600c. Setting is fairly irrelevant as I will tweak and adjust as I go along. I do shoot in RAW format on Manual +auto iso due to varying cloud cover.

I've seen similar shots to this elsewhere.
It almost seems they are double exposure. Well done.
I can assure you they are not double exposures, nothing more than moisture in the air at 1500ft

Oh wow Polly that is one superb shot of a male Kingfisher.
If you need to make access easier for you to photograph, place a stick overhanging your pond and you may find they use that too.

Growing up not far from RAF Waddington in the late 50' and 60's the sound of the Avro Vulcans running their engines at night was the sound track of my youth. We also knew if we heard more than 4 go out at once there may be a chance we wouldn't see them return. Thankfully the Cold War years never came to that.
Wonderful pictures of an iconic aircraft designed by Sir Roy Chadwick ( who also design the Avro Lancaster) which has so much history behind it.
Thank You for showing them.

There is some really good shots there especially as handheld, High ISO number to bring the shutter speed to something sensible for hand holding?
All taken at iso4000 or near to Andy.

Ah… shame I didn’t know - I’d have looked out for you.
I was mainly there to take photographs so I didn’t venture into the tents.No worries although as we had such a good time (and made quite a few sales) I think we will be there next year . On a different note ... This was our first time at this event and I thought the admission charge of £20 was a little high compared to other events ??

What a show! We arrived Thursday to set up and left Sunday throughly enjoyed the event and met some wonderful people.
Whilst I was to busy to see a lot during the day, we had a walkabout on Friday night to snap some of the fairground and engines.
Here are just a few of the many ... all taken hand-held as I forgot my tripod :

Not bad for a beginner
May I suggest something different to the norm ?
If you get down to ground level at say a round-about you can get some really good stuff, especially when HGV pass by (example below) or even an ambulance.
2nd shot is a tractor and trailer with a flashing light on the roof.
