Today was a fantastic days flying, in mostly kind conditions. Here are my results.

Really great shots. Looks like the best Spitfire shots were to be had outside.

Thanks guys :)

I don't know about everybody else, but I suffered terribly with the amount of heat yesterday. Images were noticeably soft compared to a week earlier at Old Warden. And I'm still adamant that my 7D isn't going to last much longer now!
