Blind man goes to watch an airshow & expects to see nothing!

As I am still recovering from retina attachment surgery which has left me with severe cataract in my right eye,
I thought I'll give the Farnborough Airshow a go. I watch from outside at South Pavilion along with a few hundred other people.

Shot with a Canon 50D with 100-400mm IS USM, a very expensive point and shoot! :dizzy:

This gives you an idea of what I can see out of my right eye! :sad:

Thanks to Private Pile for the company.

C+C welcome

Fabulous images, even if it's an expensive point and shoot!

Sincerely hope your right eye is on the mend.

Cheers

Like the Vulcan shot and the top side A380.

Have had a cataract op myself so know what your vision looks like. Now I'm mono vision, one eye long, one short vision. Best of both worlds.

Hopefully things will improve for you.
