Thought I would get my "portfolio" rolling - otherwise I will be forgetting all the time:
(1) Common Aircraft Types: Trainer Tucano
ZF348 departs RAF Valley, Anglesey after a night stop - 25th October 2011
(2) Close up: Close up shot with squadron insignia
Typhoons Zircon 1 (ZJ947 [AH]) & 2 (ZJ914 [AF]) of 17 squadron line up on runway 13 at RAF Valley on the 16th September 2011 after a overnight stop.
(3) Specific angle: Head-on shot
ZK029 taxis down to hold for R31, RAF Valley 1st November 2011. Taxing into the sun I think gives a great shot and the "Canopy Open" taxi I think adds another dimension.
(4) Weather: Dramatic cloudscapes
XX245 Hawk T1 "2011 Display Jet" on Approach to R31 at RAF Valley, 1st November 2011. With the mid-morning sun and some stunning black clouds I pulled the Exposure to -1 to speed up the shot and on f22 I got this, quite happy with it!! I have left the lense glare as I think that it adds to the shot.
(5) Editing technique: Black & White
Taken at Valley Aviation Societies annual Photocall, Belgian F16 FA71 of 350(F) Squadron
RAF Valley on Wednesday 3rd August 2011
Best of luck to everyone and Cheers
