20TH June: Timing It Just Right

20TH June: Timing It Just Right

Postby Lloyd H on Thu 21 Jun 2012, 12:01 pm

Well I got up West a little late and missed the morning Eagles, no bother as the light would've been pretty shoddy at the time they came through. So I settled down expecting to spend the day enjoying my own company when Chris, Mark, Mark, Rob & Rob appeared, thanks for the company chaps.
It was a little slow at the times but the evening Eagles timed it just right with the light, had they been 10 minutes either side they would've been in naff light!

1. First was the Civvie Squirrel

4. Then a T1, looks like it might've been a pax flight? Shot this at 1/200th Sec, don't think it came out to bad!

8. Tried something a little different on this one, vignette is a little heavy but it didn't really seem right with a light one :unknown:

Definately looks like a PAX flight, PAX is a lucky swine! :smile:

Some great shots, the Eagles are fantastic, really do like the light on them. A contender for POTW I think. :clap:
