John R Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Bit of a dead loss this year. Many a/c did not come near us and there was a lot of low cloud in the way.During much of the Red Arrows display we only knew where they were by seeing their shadows on the water in front of the display centre. I will be interested in seeing Sunday's pictures taken from the promenade as it seemed to be bathed in sunlight all afternoon. Highlight for us on the Head was Johnathan Whaley in Miss Demeanour very fast and very close. Almost impossible to track. Most of us got her approaching and going but only bits of wing or tail as she went by. Next year I will just watch. SWIP team. 2 Silence TwistersP40Dassault FlamantsRv8atorsTucano. Rocked his wings coming and going - nice manSabreJonathan Whaley came very fast and very close in Miss Demeamour and scared the wits out of those who did not pick her up when approaching!

Rickpadwick1801 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Very nice photos. Very jealous of the quality of them. I have posted the only photos I managed to get with my little pocket camera in the aviation photography section. Do you mind me asking what kind of camera/lens combination you used as I am possibly looking to upgrade ? Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Very nice photos! Undoubtedly the Hunter looks marvellous. I like the Flamamnt pair. I recall one doing a show at a Shoreham event(not airshow) some years ago and buzzed the tower pretty close! Might have to dig out my Azur kit now....

John R Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks for the compliments. Kit used was an EOS1D Mark 3 with 100-400 IS Canon lens. You can do very well with a 'lesser' camera. I used an EOS 350D before this and it worked well. The main reason for the camera change was to see if some more inertia would help compensate for the lack of smoothness in my movement caused by my advancing years. The Canon 75-300 is a pretty good alternative and easier to use. I'm not sure that the IS function does that much. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
