Met up with Hogster today at Dunsfold.

I got wet early on but the day later gave us great cloud formations to set the aircraft against.

Busily downloading quite a few 17m/pixel images, but here is a taster.

The last shot of the day... an image of Hogster taking a shot of a departing Hurricane. 1DsII 16-35f2.8L

I'll post some of the flying shots on the thread on the transport forum.

Scuff, that's a fine portrait! love it.

Hogster, that's great too. Try 1/320th for prop aircraft. You're about right for the helicopters.

Anyhow, here it is,,,, MaDs POTN Wetlands
Tis a few images, so if you are going to look, makes sure you got a beer and a kitkat
Just need to sort out the Film Images, will add them later

I had to work the weekend just gone, so I made the most of working at LegoLand ..

Ditto, Excelent.
The light on Davids Hurricane shot was excellent as well.

Will process some Wetland shots today just to prove i remembered to take the lens cap off.

Legoland, so cool!

Hi Hogster & Scuff

Nice crossover pair of images and you say the light seemed to have come good right at the last knockings. Looking forward to seeing the rest soonish



PS It looks Juz was outside somewhere he has posted some good ones of the Typhoon.

Last couple from me (just so we do not bore you all). Managed 170 good quality shots for 'the customer'. So that should pay for any repairs to the MkIII.

Eurofighter Typhoon. Canon 1DsmkII - 500mm F4Lis - Hand held.

^ Handheld?! Man!! Thats just teh best!

Wow I think those typhoon shots are the best i have seen even the commercial air to air stuff.

Considering it is painted in low low visibilty grey enough to fould up autofocus.
Didn't fool you though.

Very impressive.

Just noticed that's the two seat trainer as well.

After Brett decided to start scanning some film in, I thought I would too.

This was shot some time ago. ISO400 Ilford XP2 @ 200DPI using a HP C4180 scanner/printer.

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/png'

Nice ^^^^ I going move onto the Ilford BW film next, as something tells me that it is a lot better than the dodgy Tescos film and their processing,,,,,,,Bit nervous though developing it myself,

atm stuck on a train snaking its way through the west contry so thought id post something

just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water..............

this cute bugger comes along to say HAI!!

Scuff, absolutely gorgeous shots, top quality work. I'm still mourning over the RIAT cancellation Waited all year to see the F-22

Great air/seal/lego shots.
As some of you know I went to Port Lympne today to take some Gorilla photos;
I've got loads to sort and will post tomorrow, and will write a review of the day.
I would share one now;
Taken with 1DMkIIN and 400 f/2.8 + some fill flash.

#1: Silverback Profile

Mitesh - Looks good Although the blacks seem rather crushed? Anything you can do about that or has it happened at the developing stage?

Neal - Hehe that's one laid-back seal! Love it

Richard - Abso-flipping-lutely stunning!! The 400 F2.8 is one heavy-ass lens but it produces incredible results! Looking forward to the rest
