Evening all,

I've shared some of these before, some fairly recently, some probably over 10 years ago.

I bought a Sigma 8mm fisheye many years ago, purely for this one shot inside the American Air Museum at Duxford.

My plan was to return it, once back from Duxford but I decided to keep it.

And I'm glad I did - something a little different to the norm, appreciate it won't be everyone's cuppa.

In no particular order:

Hi Mike

They certainly work for me

Always great to see something a bit different

Especially a pair of the USAF’s finest

Thanks for posting

Paddyboy

A nice selection & it's pleasing to see that we made it into the first selection there with several museum aircraft being featured!

Wow, now that is different, superb post, love it, thanks for sharing.
Were some of those images taken from ground level Mike?
Cheers

Pune,

Not quite, the majority were taken from a crouching position, being on the ground level has too much sky haha - it's almost got 180 degree field of view.

Great use of the lens although some work better than others but yeah nice


Ps don't show em at the WAVE they'll be chasing after you lol

Something different - I like 'em! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing, particularly like the changes you've captured in Duxford American air museum.

Loving these Mike! Especially those in the aproach are awesome. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Cheers

Very impressive shots, really like those ones on approach

Nice set, appreciate seeing something a little different.

The F-22 & E-3D shots stand out to me.
I'd like to see them cropped to a square/ish ratio without the fisheye vignette, would be quite a cool effect!

Also like your photo of Jordans? civic in your avatar too, that's going back abit!
