Certainly not one of the best Airshow pictures, but i reckon this sums up the pilot and the aircraft. Yes these things have a silly amount of horsepower to weight and super size control surfaces, nonethless, i don't think i would have the balls to fly that close to the ground unless I am gonna land ;)

An amazing performance by a great female pilot.

Not a bad aircraft either, a bit of trivia for ya's these aircraft have a little 'ol red dot on the wing spar that changes colour when the structure gets too warm (ie very hot day) indicating no fly today peeps – composite wing spar and heat do not mix i guess 😉

Firmware update for D600 and D800

Posted on by

Support for the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR has been added.
Subject tracking performance in AF-C (continuous-servo autofocus) autofocus mode with framing using the viewfinder has been improved.
Frame output size has been changed from 95% to 100% when movie live view display is changed to "Information off" and an HDMI-compatible device is connected.
An issue that caused the right edges of images to be somewhat white when captured at an Image area setting of DX (24×16) 1.5x with Active D-Lighting set to Off has been resolved.
When the camera's shutter-release button was pressed repeatedly for uninterrupted shooting with the "Record to:" option in Camera Control Pro 2's Storage tab set to "PC+CARD", the camera would stop responding with displaying "Err" in its control panel. This issue has been resolved.
In some very rare cases, colors would change with shooting when white balance was set to a specific color temperature, as with Preset manual or Choose color temp. This issue has been resolved.
