Light and dark at Coningsby
A fantastic day at Coningsby last week, all day shooting and didn't leave until gone 11 p.m. shooting night images as well, I have lots more on Flickr and even more left to process, so i'll likely update this thread later in the week!

Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
Simply Stunning as usual
Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
Second shot of the twinstick with the Slime lights and red glow is a personal favourite out of another quality set
Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
A different look at the Coningsby scene- the dusk/evening images are really good Nigel.

Nice set with a variety of atmospheres! Image #2 has a very nice aura about it, and I love #13 and the Chippie.

Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
Magnificent. Dusk shots are especially good. Brilliant work.
Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
Impressive images, the light in # 3 & 4 is a standout.

Stunning shots, Nigel - #8 would be my pick of the bunch.
Gotta say that the BBMF Chippie looks grand in the new colours too. Vastly superior to the black scheme.

Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
Stunning Nigel, the set-up is just right. Favourite has to be that last shot, the amount of dirt and grime on the jet is insane.
And there I was hoping at least one of my shots from Valley would be a contender for POTW, your photos blow mine out of the sky!

Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
Super set mate, and thanks for your company there it was a good day out. My favourites are the strobing 6 squadron head ons, but knowing how quickly you had to react to get the night shots set up they are equally as impressive!
Re: Light and dark at Coningsby
Hi Nigel
What a stunning set of images, they are all superb, but No 2 is very special indeed.
Thanks for sharing,
All the best, Ian

Many thanks again for the comments.
Indeed it was a good day Craig, another "spur of the moment" decision that paid-off handsomely!

Captain Scarlet is indestructable, you are not. Remember this, do not try to imitate him.

All really well presented photos mate. Lovely background light for you too. 8,11,13 and 14 really stand out.
