Leuchars for Photographers

Post by Wallace » Fri Sep 10, 2010 6:47 am

Leuchars is notorious for a south facing crowd-line, giving back-lit photos.

This picture will give you an idea of where the sun should be at a particular time of day.

I've done the Leuchars show most years since 1965 and last year was the best weather I've ever seen there in about 38 Leuchars airshows.
OK,there's been some bad ones,but there's been some crackers too.

None have ever been cancelled,remember RIAT 2008 ?

I can't attend this year but I hope it's a great day for everyone. :D
