RIAT 2018 Friday - My first show for 4 years (update 18/07)


Recommended Posts

Real Life tm has taken its toll and I've not had the chance to build a model for three years, or visit an air show for four years now, but hopefully in the year of the RAF Centenary I can put an end to all that. 😊 

 

I don't have too much reach with my kit as it's mostly used for models (of various types), that tend to be a bit closer and slower so it's all biased for that. The longest reach I have being 300 mm on a 5d MKIII. I usually fare better at other shows where the emphasis is on older aircraft and warbirds (as some of my much earlier posts have shown), but the fast jets are a little harder to shoot in a way that truly I'm happy with (and I am super picky 🤔😁). More reach is needed I think. I have plans for next year's RIAT. It doesn't involve buying an £8000 super-telephoto though! 😲 

 

So here we are. The first half of my mini dump of images from the Friday. A good day, despite the rain which caused a few show cancellations. 

 

Thank you for your time. A few more to come later, and a click should take you to a slightly larger image on flickr.

Very nice, much better than mine!

Well.. I don't know if that is true, but I bet you're considerably better at more important stuff than me.... Like making a living for example. 😎
