Hi guys,

I do not begin to think I can take pics as well as some on this site, but I thought I might show you a few from this evening's show at Southport.  It was good to see the Lancaster back in the air, and the lighting was beautiful, so I apologise if there are more than a couple of the old Avro.  All photos taken with a Sony bridge camera, so no fancy lenses for me!  The most difficult aspect of the evening is that the sun goes down in the background, so one minute you are dealing with lens flare, the next, the plane moves and you are against a darker sky.  The auto function struggled so I had to go to manual settings.  Therefore, some may look a bit over exposed.  Anyway, hope you like at least one or two.

The last one is "Otto".  A bit of a barking pilot who has strapped all sorts of pyrotechnics, mortars and other blatantly explosive devices to his helicopter in the name of entertainment.  A bloody good show, but possibly one sandwich short of a picnic.

 

Anyway, I will be back there on Sunday to see Sally B, the BBMF, Bronco and others.  If the Gods are happy, I might get some more photos to show anyone who might be interested.

 

Bye for now, the Lemur.
