Some beautiful shots photodude. My favourites are the fan dancer 7337 and the incredible wing action you captured in 7354.

Excellent. That wing position on 7354 is superb.

What kit did you use?

[photodude]

Canon 500D and the basic of all lenses (Tamron 70-300mm) I bought the 500D as it has better frame rate and RAW image buffer than the 550D. That gives more chance of getting shots like these. Tamron lens is the basic £99 from jessops, and IMHO is worth every penny. Yes the AF is a bit slow, but still produces sharp images
