Yeovilton Air Day - 7 July 2018

[F3]

Looks like another excellent Yeovilton show. Maybe one of these years I'll manage to make the epic journey south again.

It was a good show F3. I last went in 2011 so been wanting to get back ever since. The sun was a bit of a challenge with the photography and it was bloomin hot aswell. However Roger seems to have nailed a few, looking at his post.

Cheers

Great pictures - was going to put some of mine up but you've got the same planes as me only much sharped and much better exposed!
What equipment are you using?

Nice shots

Looks like a good show

[James Cutting]

Lovely shots mate! Was great to see you and what a brilliant day it was!

Only got up at 11 yesterday and just about pulled the pictures of the cards...still need to look through them and get kit ready for RIAT!

18 probably the best for me!

Cheers

Thanks everyone

Yes, it was a great Show - both in the air and with those aircraft on the ground.

I used a Canon EOS 60D with a 100-400mm lens for the flying display, but lighting was adjusted in Photoshop to bring out the detail

Impressive, very similar gear to me (70D and 100-400) and far superior results.
Ive had a massive number of focus misses (and really struggled with exposure with the sun, haze and so on). I suspect my setup for tracking and focus following is not correct or optimal.

A great idea, Trevor. Having sampled a "better" show recently I won't be going back there. Well done Yeovilton et al for a varied show packed with interest.
