My first proper post on these forums so hope is all ok with my post.

In April I made my first trip to Coningsby in April and had my first attempt at shooting the Phoons with a Panasonic G80 and 100-300 lens. I struggled with settings and light with the lens hunting and results may seem possibly over cropped and over processed to some, definitely not the same standard as some of the superb pin sharp shots I've been viewing on here by the pro's

Here's a few

Some nice shots there, but where were you standing to take the last one?

Hi Mike
Thanks, the last one was taken on the grass on Langrick Road, runway 25, opposite end to the spotters carpark.

It all depends on how fast you can run if things go wrong with the aircraft on final approach, an interesting shot but try and stay safe please.

Nowt wrong with those, Neil

Rather you than me for that last shot

Well done and thanks for posting

Thanks for the word of warning and will bare that in mind for future, regardless of event. I guess the only saving grace was I was monitoring the talkdown frequency at the time.
