Spring sunshine, Winter wind at Old Warden

[Seamus]

Morning all,

Kicked off the new season yesterday at a blustery Old Warden, a very enjoyable start to the year despite the wind's best intentions and good to be out and about with the camera once more. Very pleased to see the PO2 on it's début, another vintage Russian aircraft with a great sound. The AN-2 put on a particularly impressive show too, one of only a handful of aircraft that enjoy that sort of wind I suspect!

Here's a selection from the show, more can be found on my Flickr

Great shots. I really like that first B&W conversion.

[rjlaker]

Fantastic selection mate - looks like a great opener to the season. Lovely blue skies - let's hope we get a lot more of those this year!

[planemadbird]

Fantastic set, the Tiger Moth is excellent and the use of B&W in that PO2 shot is spot on

[LN Strike Eagle]

Nice variety in the shots here mate - particularly like #2, #14 and #16.

[SuffolkBlue]

Some of the best I've seen from the show so far. Really like no. 2 and the Sabre shots

[jimbob1194]

Number two is a cracker. Top set!

Nice shot of the Bristol F2b and lovely Lysander topside.

[Rover75]

Sabre & Sea Hurri shots are my faves.

[Seamus]

Thanks for the kind feedback guys, much appreciated

I've gone through a few more shots this afternoon so thought I'd post a handful more, hope you like

Thanks for the additional chaps, much appreciated

A great set, very sharp. I really like the B&W shots of the Pup & Triplane.

Cheers, Jamie.

Very sharp shots! I like the creative b/w shots as well. May I ask what kind of lens was used?

[Seamus]

Cheers lads

Philip, all shots, excluding the static Lysander, were shot using a Canon EF 100-400L lens
