Low down-Headcorn Friday

Post by docman »

A short break at Headcorn this afternoon provided alot of aerobatic activity. The backdrop clouds were particulary pleasing . First up the Bucker Jungman with a low inverted pass!

Thank you for those comments. Normally I am disappointed going to Headcorn during the week. I was trying to practice using slow shutter speeds and was caught unawares by the inverted pass. That the first three are uncropped and taken with a 1.3x sensor and 400mm lens shows how close the pass was!
