As seen as the Derwent Dam is just down the road from where i live. I jumped on my MTB this morning to watch the fly-past. Sadly this could well be the last fly-past they do at Derwent.

Fantastic!!

I'd love to have seen that. They had Richard Todd on Radio 5 this afternoon, he was at the flypast as a guest.

Excellent photos nypd. I saw the feature on the BBC news website and they really put that Lancaster through it paces. Wish I'd known about it, I would have loved to have been there.

I missed the fly past as I on the flight path here in Lincs, not sure what time it came over but I didn't get to see it damn it.

My father flew in a Dakota when he served in the Army so i wanted to see one, apart from the Lancaster and the other planes of course. Excellent pictures btw Astana!!

Great pictures nypd, you do yourself down regarding your talent. Your positioning above the dam looking down on the aircraft is a sign of a pro. Next time you ought to see if you can get your pictures published in the papers/mags etc.

I'm not yet 40 but do remember the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster every year at Woodford Airshow and it does send a shiver down your spine, I was trying to get there yesterday but couldn't get out of a meeting - wish I had gone looking at those photos

The pics have potential but are let down by the lack of movement in the shot - usually a case of too high a shutter speed. To capture movement you need to reduce the shutter speed and focus on panning with the subject to get crisp detail but blurred backgrounds and/or moving parts such as wheels etc. Vertical movement from suspension parts can also dramatically add to the sensation of speed

Or, as they used to say on Blue Peter, here's one I did earlier:

Great shot - focus good, nice pan/motion blur, subject looking into the space in the frame...sweet!
