Flying the flag

Taken at the Town & Country Festival held a Stoneleigh. For a long time their small aircraft circled overhead, dropping markers and assessing the wind direction etc. Then with all head straining upward small dots appeared, which grew larger and spiralled down toward the main arena and the waiting crowds.

Camera set on auto and continuous shoot so I was panning with the descending parachutist hopefully in frame. First time of trying this technique and I did not manage to stay with them all the time. At least with more than one of them coming down I at least could try several times.

Thanks for looking and I hope you like the image.

Any C&C's along with helpful hints would be appreciated.
