Navy Wings Night Shoot

Post by Seamus »

Evening all,

Here's another selection of images from last night's terrific evening courtesy of Threshold.aero and Navy Wings. My first night shoot, which won't be my last, I thoroughly enjoyed my evening in the company of some fine aeroplanes and plenty of familiar faces to boot.

Really good set here! The #2 Phantom stands-out, but the twilight Sea Fury edges it into second! :clap:

Don't beat yourself-up 'Jakesplanes'. Much better to remember HMS Heron as it was, than pollute those memories with the reality of now! :sad:

Thanks very much chaps :clap:

I wish I had taken more shots during that twilight period as it came out much better than I had anticipated. Something to improve on next time...

Thanks again,

Shaun
