TLE normally arrange a couple of visits each year normally in March and October if I remember correctly, although the themes generally do change.

Nicely done by the guys at Elvington and well posed by the chaps and great photography as well infact the whole package is a corker, and the Buccaneer with the GBU on the pylon looks great.

Steve, please excuse this post if your decisions were artistic but photos 2 and 12 seem to have focus problems. You may find it helpful if you used back button focus or lock the auto focus off as I think your camera's auto focus wandered a bit in these photos.

Back button focus is a useful technique to use at night, good for focus, lock and recompose.

Nice set of photos, I'm kind of disappointed I didn't go myself.... maybe next year.

number two is fine, he obviously focussed on the aircrew, that is why the Buccaneer is out of focus, and number looks fine to me...........

In the images you mention I deliberately chose a shallow depth to emphasise the subject of the image, in number 2 the aircrew and in 12 the aircraft.

These images were taken using a tripod was and a remote release with an appropriate focuse point selected near the edge of the frame. Image 2 was shot at 55mm f/2.8 the exposure time was about 1 second. Image 12 was shot at 70mm f/2.8 with an exposure time of 3.2 seconds. Both exposures too slow to hand hold and use the technique suggested. But thanks for suggestion tho

Rather than the focus points, I'm far more concerned they're looking at maps outside in the dark and someone's nicked their bomb doors!

Gannet looks great shame she's not still on the circuit.
