As I said in the reply earlier, the image is sharp, I would not even have taken it from the card if it wasn't, other people are welcome to their opionion, it really is of no consequence to me at all.
As for sending anyone my RAW files, it don't happen unless its on a contract of rights usage!

First visit of the type to Stansted airport.... more to follow!

Possibly the best set Ive seen so far Peter, they look 'real', whereas so many others look like screengrabs from "RIAT the computer game" very nice I like them!

Lovely work Peter! What a great morning that was.

I suspect I'm not alone in muttering expletives not permitted on this forum in your general direction though.......

I have no problem with that at all, there were several muttered at the time as well, another "Tourette's moment" on the hills for sure!

Nice catch Nigel, congrats. Just one thing, if I may: very fast and very low can be translated into: Très bas et très rapide. "Faible" is synonymous of "weak", or "poor". So low in quality, but not low in altitude Kind regards, Frank Oh dear, French was never a strong ...

With the slight possibility of RIAT departures going the scenic route home I went Sunday night to ensure I didn't oversleep!!
Many thanks again for the comments!

Many thanks all, Yes Chris it is the RIAT aircraft, they headed to Wales after departing Fairford, gave us 2 pretty astonishing passes and then headed home!

Very low and very fast French Mirages.... in the Mach loop yesterday, my chin hit the ground and bounced when these came around the corner! 1 http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2805/9348078341_bfaa2265f8_b.jpg Dassault Mirage F1CR 118-CY by Nigel Blake, 2 million views Thankyou! , on Flickr 2 http://farm...

You are evolving, metamorphosing from a 'spotter with a camera' into an 'aviation photographer' perhaps!!!

It looks great back in the air, it'll look even better in the Loop!!!

You will need to post some EXIF data (shutter speed etc) and a cropped selection at 100%, because a resized image won't be of help in identifying a problem!

The last place doing it was Stephen Frisser in Australia about 3 year ago, I don't think C22 chemistry is available any more!

Yep, a nice set, the last frame is a great shot that's well seen!

Much too busy to do Legends this year, but I got the nod these were due at LN...... just a few quick edits. 1 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7307/9288045428_d792e06900_b.jpg McDonnell Douglas F15C 81-0041 by Nigel Blake, 2 million views Thankyou! , on Flickr 2 http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7452/92852...
