jenshb Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 At Fairford, are we shooting with the sun from behind or towards it during the flying display? Never been to the RIAT before, so don't know what to expect really... Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I was stood against the crowd line all day facing the runway, and my left arm got sun burned, so I'm thinking behind/left depending on the time of day. Can't remember getting the sun in shot at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAR67 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The sun is behind you all day,it rises on the right side of the airfield and sets on the left side,so bring your sun screen cos if its anything like last year,you my friend are going to suffer without it.

Yeah, I saw a ginger haired guy last year that through my polarised Oakleys was actually purple on his neck & shoulders... I wouldn't have wanted to be his dermatologist!

Bennygman Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Like the guys said Jens, behind and to the side as the day goes on. The only problem you might have is that from about 3-4 o'clock it is quite side on, putting half of the display into a silhouette. To some extent you can overcome that by going to the Western end (where it's also a lot quieter) and shooting towards the East. What it also means is that as the static stays open 'til about 20:30 you can get some lovely setting sunlight on your static photos too. Everybody keep that Mike's right about the need for sunscreen!
