What can I add that hasn't already been said? :) Apart from the fact that I'm an absolute location junkie, and this year I've mostly had to leave the big battery pack and heads behind and use a couple of speed lights on my travels instead. There is loads you can do with even one speed light and...

Much of what is being said sounds all so very familiar, and I've spent plenty of time castigating myself about how 'crap' I am. :bang: But nowadays, no more. I've worked with some great people, enjoyed the process and very often enjoy the end result. :) It doesn't mean I'm not still trying to...

Oh blimey! :eek: :thumbs:

Jolly nice of you to say so everyone, and I likey P47 as well... The aircraft that is, even though I'm quite pleased with the shot. :) Just getting into this hairyplane thingy again, and sad to say that's it for my finances and days out for this year. Back to my usual stuff it seems. :D...

Thank you Ben. It was a great day out. Figured it might be the last chance to sit in the sun with a picnic and watch a great show. :) And I'm glad you liked the inverted Gnat, the neck ache getting it was worth it. :) Bernie.. It's just as well then that I only do this kind of thing for fun.

Last time I was at Duxford was 2009. :'( I definitely don't remember seeing quite so many people on the other side of the airfield last time, although it has been a few years. :lol: I think I counted about 50 in one single 30-40 metre section this year so it must be getting a bit popular over...

Let's join in the Duxford fun. :D Second airshow this year after not going for years. This isn't really my photographic thing, but it's nice to spend the day in the sun taking pictures that I can delete at the end of the day with NO worries if I hate them all. :) Great day, and the sky was...

Pretty Gnats... :) Unless you're a Pakistani F86 Sabre pilot on the afternoon of 22nd November 1971 that is. :eek: After looking at your Flickr stream, :thumbs: I'm guessing you do a few air shows Paul.. :D

Got to kind of agree there. :) The field side did appear to have the advantage of aircraft turning the upper sides towards it more often. I'll shoot dozens of belly shots just to get the one where it turns just right. Although TBH this is only the second airshow I've been to this year, (see...

Well I was on the paying side with even more kit so don't worry about it. ;) It is kind of annoying that the way the aircraft turn at Duxford the best view is from the naughty field on the other side, where it appears you can get very close to the runway (relative to us poor sods :'( ). I...

Some people work too damn hard for a living getting themselves in the right places. :thumbs: Sounded better and more realistic than just saying 'You lucky beep'. ;)

Ah!! Hence the lost car shenanigans! :lol: You should do so. I can't go to many at all now I'm on a budget, but Sywell is close to home so it's not too expensive for me. :)

Thanks everyone for joining the Sywell overload! And leaving nice comments as well. :D Mark: I'm glad you especially liked no.4. I wasn't expecting to get anything I really liked from the Blades. First part of the show, hadn't shot any aircraft for a few years and more than a bit rusty, but I...

I have a more than half decent lens and I can tell you a steady hand and good panning is where you're killing me you show off. 1/125th! :p I chickened out and shot all the aerial stuff at 1/200th and 1/250th. :lol:
