RAF Lakenheath Old Skool style

Post by SW Sky Blue » Mon Sep 21, 2020 8:06 am

Had a fabulous few days at Lakenheath , as did many others, and got lucky with flying taking place in the golden hour....Here are a few of my efforts in and old skool style, no fancy shutter speeds, no runways at 45 degrees and the light on the right side...if that bores you move on :whistle:

So, in no particular order...

That's the best set of photos from this deployment I have seen. Lovely light, lots of tyre smoke, and the forest makes a great backdrop.

Great set, nothing like a simple side on to show all the detail, and nice catch of the smokin' tyres. :thumb:

Very nice Kev, all of them.

You're slowly getting the hang of this photography lark.

Got to agree with all the above and certainly the best set of photos I've seen from this deployment... stick with the old school approach... I think it's absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for posting. 👍

Goes to show that sometimes Old School is best. Shame some people are just too cool for it. Agree with all the above comments. You can smell the burning rubber on some of those landing shots.

Stunning set of shots - the Heritage Jet is a stand out for me but all are terrific.
