Thanks Larry.
Interesting Eagles. There are a couple of Pitts here. Some other very
fast flashy looking jobs too! I'll need to get a programme to find out
what they all are.
I'll get it right over the next couple of days. Probably the last chance
I'll get of seeing something like this.

Thanks all. This image pretty well sums it up.
And some stunt planes:

The planes are just too distant - too small - out of range. A bit like
trying to photograph an eagle in flight at 300m!
I used TAV 1000sec, f8 exclusively.
Ya think ?

These loons were frequent visitors to the cove our cottage was on. I took this
on the fifth day of our two-week stay; by the end the chick was much larger,
and was sporting a white breast, and speckled white-and-black head and body
feathers. By late September it will probably follow its parents
You may have to move your viewpoint of the camera along with the traject
of the plane (as I usually do with birds and dragonflies)

Yep, Moffett Field air show - pretty sure they were Phantoms…….

I only ever use manual focus for these kinds of subjects and shooting
situations. I pick the framed field I want to catch the car or plane in, find
something static to set the focus, and then just follow and frame until the
subject hits my "release the shutter" mark, which depends on the

Could it be that you're pointing the camera upwards and your lens is
creeping out of focus?

Maybe those planes get closer than one would expect... maybe that is why
the wet blankets are complaining :-)
OK, on a serious note what Bob said makes sense to me.. and easier

Surely the planes are at infinity or beyond? So why focus at all? Choose your
focal length and aperture, set it manually to infinity focus, or the hyperfocal
distance, and leave it. Or am I missing something?

I have never found a single solution that works all of the time. I would try
A-9 AF-S set up in the center, also manual. I agree with Godfrey’s suggestion
of planning ahead. Pre-focus so that things are close to in focus, wait until
the subject is close to in focus and within the 9 selected
