Lee on-The-Solent Airfield January 2014 Update 3 14th

Post by FastJetsBest »

Hey all, something different today.

New year, still rubbish weather, but i went outside the base to see how far i could see with my new toy. Can't wait to have a full bright sunny day. This dull weather really makes it difficult. These pictures might not be as great as normal, but gotta get used to it :grin:

N6466, DeHavilland DH82A Tiger Moth (G-ANKZ) did visit, but didn't get a chance to get a picture :sad: Think it was the only visitor today.

All handheld......8th January

Anything from 250-1000+ did try 125 on a bird and got a clear shot. I will try that low on a aircraft soon, but i got a feeling it will be nasty :lol:

I really need a tripod. So many around just don't know what to get. Confusing which is best.

If i do pop down Headcorn this year, i will bring my 800mm for you to try.

Thanks for the comments. Colin it was a bit of both, some with 800mm and other 100-400. I will try to sort out that exif on flickr, when I'm home. Still all handheld. I'm 30 in 3 weeks maybe I will get a tripod for my birthday :lol: if only.

Cheers Terry, let's hope for a sunny weekend. As I am working the rest of the week, I'm glad there is not much sunshine on offer :lol: hate it when it's a lovely sunny day and I'm busy :sad:

Great shots there, good to have something from the air. Always enjoy looking around the area. Look forward to more in the future. :smile: The Isle of Wight looks tiny from the sky.
