Post by tink_norfolk »

Had a ride down to RAF Mildenhall and wasted just over an hour and all I got to show for it was these.

Number 4 is worth the trip alone. Nice warm light against threatening sky, can't beat it! Very good set. :clap:

I can certainly say that I've spent a lot worse 60 minutes than those.
Great timing in both aircraft and light.
The effect of the sun on the Tri* is fabulous.

I'd spent multiple hours sat outside a base to get a Tristar in that light! :shock: Nothing to moan about with those shots!

The last Tristar shot is magnificent. Bonus is it's the one that took me to Akrotiri with ATC a few years ago.

Second TriStar image is about as perfect a photograph as you can get.
