RIAT Saturday 2017 (Update)

[FastJetsBest]

Hey,

What a great day, even after cancellations/low cloud/drizzle and low light I loved it. Shame about the F-22 but for me the SU-27 was the star, so very happy to see it display.

Did my best with the conditions, few for now, more to come.

Nice set, what are you shooting with? Looking at the exif it said 800mm, so I got curious

[Tbolt]

Great shots especially considering the conditions. Looked pretty murky for the Tornado.

[keety]

Wowsers!

How on earth did you get such great shots? I've been going through mine and after looking at yours I don't think i'll bother!

Was checking out the xif data and they are some seriously impressive and almost technically perfect shots! Utterly gobsmacking stuff considering the conditions!

Thanks for the comments

Yeah used a 5DS/7DMKII with a Sigma 800mm

Very, very nice pictures

[Burleysway]

Very, very nice pictures

Certainly are. Top marks

[Blackbird]

Yup - great set - especially under the grotty conditions we were given to deal with. Not sure mine will be worth a second glance - but haven't looked yet!

[PanamaMan]

If this is you on a bad day I look forward to seeing what happens when the sun shines!

Seriously impressive work...

[FastJetsBest]

Thanks very much for the comments, if only we had sunshine and blue sky's.

[Hatstand]

Great stuff, despite "challenging" weather and lighting!
And possibly the most dramatic Chinook photo I've ever seen...
