RAF Coningsby 8.12.10 with a special Fly By

Post by flyingslug_0 » Wed Dec 08, 2010 10:02 pm

Hi All,
Had a great day out with Captain Scarlet (Thanks Rich for keeping us safe) :thumbs: also a big thanks to Jim for his banter. Shame Neil couldn't join us maybe next time. :thumbs: Wasn't very busy but it was very cold but we had a very special flyby by 7 Harriers they caught us by surprise as they didn't call up on the radio so I managed to get only a couple of snap shots. The light was great and the contrast with the snow and fading light at the end of the day was a joy to photograph. I wasn't going to include number 2 but after I'd cropped it it reminds me of an air to air.Sorry for the heavy posts but it is Christmas.......well almost :thumbs: :thumbs:

Very nice, great colours and great light.

These would really benefit though from being straightened.

Love the Sentinel climb out shot but the runway angle really spoils it :(

very nice.

The 7 eventually came back to Wittering, as did the Sentinel.

I wouldn't worry about the images - Elements 7 works wonders. Except when you aren't quick enough to focus and the a/c are at a great distance, they didn't call when they arrived at Wtrg either.

Keep trying

Quite a few of the aircraft are rotating.. But not by their own means. :lol:

Some lovely shots though, that light looks stunning!

Winter sun, you just can't beat it! Nice selection craig, as goose said, they could be a bit straighter but as it was so cold i don't blame you gor being a bit off balance! :lol:

Many thanks for the day out, not many aircraft but superb banter/company all day. :thumb:

Richard

ps - only just warmed up! :D

Captain Scarlet is indestructable, you are not! Remember this, do not try to imitate him.
