Thanks. I'm not too sure of the exact settings off the top of my head,will check when I get home. I do remember it was a very cold evening,I had my ski wear and arctic gloves on! This was one image of 5 taken whilst this aircraft conducted night circuits. I use a Canon 20D and for this shot I used a Sigma 15-30mm EX lens. Camera was tripod mounted,using the bulb setting with a remote shutter release. ISO would have been 100 and an exposure of approx 2mins but I will check that and aperture later.
Fortunately it was a very still night at the end of the runway,although as you can see from the chimney to the left there was some wind about a mile away,unfortunately there were very few stars in the sky that night.
Thanks for the comment,glad you like,I will be attempting some similar night shots in the near future.

Don't want to interupt these great pics - but solved the problem re viewing on my wide screen.
Took someones advice and increase the resolution - like the screen was designed for 1280 by 960 and it works.
Thanks.

Highland Fling
Had a fantastic time up in Inverness last week with the Highland Flying School. I did their Advanced Handling Course which got me familiar with the PA-38 Tomahawk. Included short field takeoffs and landings, grass field operations (at the Dornoch strip), spinning, Chandelles and Lazy Eights. They booked me into a very reasonably priced B&B at nearby Ardesier (on the shores of the Moray Firth). Excellent breakfasts but best foregone on the day one does the spinning - I found out the hard way!
The day after the course finished I took one of the Tomahawks solo up to the Orkneys after a short detour over Loch Ness. At Kirkwall I found a grizzled but friendly taxi driver who took me on a two hour tour of the island.

Well, I'm not sure that it's private flying, but here are some photos I took the other day on the way back from flight testing...

I don't know how to actually make them appear here, perhaps someone can offer some additional instruction...

use the [ img ] and [ url ] tags but remove all the * in the tags (put there so you can see the code)
If you want to link the image as well...

First passenger
Took my lady as my first passenger up on a bimble to Goodwood and back last Thursday. The weather was fantastic and in spite of being extremely nervous she thoroughly enjoyed the flight. She also took some amazing photos!

I assume there are more people reading than posting to this thread so it tends to get lost several pages into the forum. Is it possible it could have a permanent place at the beginning in the same way as Flying Videos. I personally enjoy the photos more than the videos.
Pity more people don't take the trouble to take pictures or is it that they are too shy to share them with us?
