Sorry for the large amount of images but it was a cracking day

[jwarnerxh558]

every one is spot on mate, considering it a steam powered camera

[shaggie]

Well i think my Canon can hold its own

[agdickie]

Splurgetastic!

[TonyO]

Nice one Shagster - a great set. I think I need to invest in a 2.8 and stronger arms.

Thanks for the driving too, it was a brilliant day!

[bigcrow]

Great set mate, who's the dummy who declined the offer in coming up with you guys..
Just a small point, but a few look a tad over sharpened, particulary the twin-stick Tiffy & 100 Sqdn Hawk.

[shaggie]

Stu i think your right i do need to sort my monitor out !!

[Stu]

They look fantastic on mine great set there oh and I stuck a few more tractors up in the general section think you may well like

[stevieb]

Some of the best low level stuff I've seen, and i'm not just saying that because you're my mate!

Query: Re pictures 6 & 7 the starboard tailplane leading edge of the Tornado appears "kinked" outboard, Port one seems to have a straight leading edge, is this something I missed or is it an optical illusion ?.

Brilliant pictures as well, Paul H.,

[Mad Dan]

Makes a change from bloody tractors, that's for sure...

Seriously, very good indeed...but how did you manage to get the fuel bowser up that hill, that's what I'd like to know...

[IanH]

Indeed a very impressive set.

Regards, Ian

[Playboy]

[swingy]

Bit of an optical illusion, especially on the port one - the taileron of the Tornado has a kink in the leading edge, but not as much as the photo suggests - a bit of foreshortening makes it look more than it is.

[Aquila]

Detail and clarity on these is stunning-totally brilliant set of shots TonyO suggests you're using a 2.8 lens-mind if I ask what you're using it with?

[shaggie]

Thanks for all the very postitive comments
Aquila set on the day was for the most Canon 1D MkII with 300mm F2.8 non is ,the C-130J herk was with the 70-200mm F2.8 non is and i did us the 1.4 converter on some of the later F-15 shots and the C-130K shot
Mr P i had a very big hose !!!

[capercaillie]

Absolutely brilliant, first two Eagles especially.

Thanks for the explanation re the tailplanes, Paul H.

[elderforest]

Lovely stuff Mark - much better than helicopters !

The 'K' XV301 is rather good

[Koen L]

Very nice Mark! The oversharpening on a few of the shots is a bit of a shame.

[SPLAT]

Chimpers take note,it's the photograph as taken with skill not photoshop enhanced

Great shots
