First trip of 2011 - big post

Post by lozza »

Decided this year that im going to spend more time model turbine flying than low level photography, but i needed some breathing space for a day so what better location than the Welsh mountains and what a day it turned out to be, 90% of the shots taken with a 1-4 convertor on my 300mm prime using Nikon D300.

Lawrie,

Stunning set - far too many corkers to be picking favourites.

I'm going to defy Dan ( :tongue: ) and pick out the F.3 topside, and the Saudi GR.4 knife edge at the end - bloody superb! :clap: :topbombing:

The light on all is tremendous, but the Saudi tornado shots are absolutely wonderful, great set ending with some of the sharpest around. A truly outstanding set!!

Thanks for sharing

Cheers
