Flying Legends pics

Post by Tom Everitt AFG »

Just a small selection from today.

I Haven't taken photos at an airshow for a while, as there hasn't really been much new to see in recent times, however Legends always brings out a few items worth seeing!

I've never found Duxford an easy place for photography, it's a shame the crowdline isn't on the Southside of the field.

Lovely shots Tom.

I like the shot of the Mitchell best - a real close-up!

Hi Tom..
Yes, I agree with that!! Joe Public always has the sun (when there is some) in his eyes and the aircraft are in sillouette(sp) most of the time :roll: Forecast is good for today so I'm not taking my wetsuit or snorkel :lol: Taking the digicam instead, a challenge in itself as I can't remember how to use it! :worried:

Great photos there, Tom!

I was there yesterday, and will be up on the back road today. Had some quick lessons on airshow photography from a friend ( aperture settings, shutter speeds and whatnot )...and they all turned out under exposed! :curse: :lol:

Weather looks perfect from where I am sitting right now. :smile:

Not a bad selection there Tom. The Mew Gull is as beautiful as ever, and that Dakota looks lovely having seen in on a few other forums... :smile:
