    It's damned hard to get a shot in flight, let alone a great shot. I have spent some time trying to do this, but never managed anything good.. well, not yet It's one of those things I have on my list of 'to achieve' along with a focussed Red Kite shot. It's nice to have goals

    That Red Kite has certainly got a lot to answer for, it's going to be your nemesis at this rate.

    There's a good chance it will be, Eddy - with obsession comes walking backwards with a camera pointed upwards... and there are bound to be unwanted consequences from that
