Hi Guys/Girls,

I'm currently out in Canada on exercise and thought i'd share a few of the snaps i've managed to get so far!

i know the one of the 510 Warrior midway up the hill isn't a full shot of the subject, but thought it worked well to capture the drama. :thinking::LOL: Also i think i've caught the sighting system in action on the flanking CR2 image. :bonk: As for the night shot, i couldn't actually see the Stormer, just guessed from the engine noise, and a single test shot before the launch sequence started... Annoyed, but if anything just makes me want to get more practice in at night shooting.

C&C Welcome, as always!

Really like the 3rd pic, great action shots all round mind

Nice set, No 3 for me too. I see you were a bit restricted by the lens max of 105mm.
A couple look a bit soft due to using the high end of the lens.
Keep em coming.
 
Thanks for the replies guys, sorry for the lateness of mine - been exceedingly busy!

Yes, i've currently got a maximum of 135mm reach - next purchase will be something with more reach for sure!

The last of my images for this trip out, now i'm back home its back to my car and getting on trackdays :)

Very good set, I have a mate out there with an armoured engineer unit, 8 weeks of misery as he calls it.
 
Blimey that brought back a few memories ... must hunt out some of mine from Canada. I was at BATUS during 1976 and 1985 when the tanks were Chieftain!

Great action "as it really is" shots ... well done :)
