It was well worth the two and half hour drive for the three and a half hours that I spent photographing the collection by night.
The weather wasn't great, a wee but breezy and I lost some pictures due to the effects of guerilla rain showers but generally it stayed dry long enough to get the job done.
Thanks to everyone that made the event possible.
HA-MKE An-2, almost military, show under natural light. A failure as by the time that I figured out the exposure the clouds had drifted over and obscured the plough constellation.
HA-MKE An-2 , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXH563 Vulcan, taken towards the end of the evening, ambient light with a touch of blue in-fill ambient light but the shadow of the Jaguar made the shot for me.
XH563 Vulcan , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXJ380 Sycamore. Lit from the street lamps beyond and yellow "sodium" effect lights on the Jaguar. Black and white seemed the best choice.
XJ380 Sycamore , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXR528 Wessex. Backlit flood lights with ambient sodium lights, with a couple of museum volunteers in the background
XR528 Wessex , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXT466 Wessex Floodlit
XT466 Wessex , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXZ113 Jaguar. The most productive aircraft of the night. Natural light, possibly sodium
XZ113 Jaguar , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXZ113, ambient sodium lights so another candidate for black and white, with a bit of dodging on the fuselage
XZ113 Jaguar , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXZ592 Sea King. Sodium lights, another candidate for a black and white conversion
XZ592 Sea King , Moravia by Wallace Shackleton, on FlickrXH821 Merlin. The first of the set pieces, this one was taken after the flood lights were moved to the Wessex, ambient light with just a touch of fill-in light from a torch.
