Mildenhall & Lakenheath snaps

[Strix Photos]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forums, but you might know me from instagram where I have posted regularly. I only have been photographing mil aircraft for few months now (as I moved very close to both bases), so i'm very new to it and still learning the best spots and shots and all the settings that come with owning a Canon camera. Hope they are ok compared to some of the amazing shots I see around here! I hope you enjoy this recent mix of Mildenhall & Lakenheath movements taken from late last year (2020) till as recently as this week!

If these are just "snaps" I would love to see some "proper" photos! Great set of images. What camera & lens(es)do you use?

Lucky to be living in such a great area near MH and LH, so I am able to pop-up quickly if its quiet enough at work! Glad to caught a nice variety already despite being very new to it!

Haha thanks, i'm still learning! I'm hoping to get to the Mach Loop and other bases this year to give myself a bit of a challenge. I used a second hand Canon 7D Mark II which came with a 100-400mm Canon Lens (Mark I i believe) and a 1.4x Extender. I have been thinking about saving up in the future for a different body however, since I do find the 7D Mark II to be a bit noisy and not great in low light, however I am very happy with it for now as i'm quite new to it all.

The sunset was out of this world that day, really just orange and beautiful. Glad I could get a few good shots out of it.

Quality snaps I’d say in my humble opinion

These are very nice - the autumn/winter light is so great for photography. Love the RC-135U, one I hope to catch myself one day.

You'll know me from Instagram too (@StrikeEagle492).

I really have been lucky to get out during some really lovely days. The RC-135U was a surprise one! Was about to leave (since it seemed quiet) until someone said "hold up, shark teeth is coming in!" worth the wait

Set of great shots. Thanks for sharing

Appreciate it Roger!

Superb

Thanks Everglades!

It really has been a lovely mild winter and great for light recently (besides the storm)

Lovely crisp images

Thank you! Although I wish I had a camera body that would perform a bit better in low light. The Canon 7D Mark II holds up very well, but only in favourable conditions.
