Day out at the 'Heath with a new lens

Post by Richard Cutting » Thu Feb 18, 2016 9:55 pm

Evening All,

Here are my first pictures from an eventful day out at RAF Lakenheath on the other day. It was a good day seeing Grim Reaper Supporters, Trevor, Paddy and Co :thumb: thoroughly enjoyed it. Pictures taken with a Canon 600D and Sigma 150-500mm - any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated :) Hope you enjoy the pictures, and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Hi Richard

Great stuff. Looks like you have mastered that lens already :thumbs:
Was a great day, many thanks for your company too :thumb:
Good variety of images and good composition and sharp. Look at the state of the dash board on pic 20, you can tell they were somewhere hot and dusty for a while :whistle:
The light first thing with the frost was awesome :)
Look forward to more pics from you soon....

All the best mate
Trev

PS: not had chance to get mine off camera yet :grr:
