Brilliant, was at Bridlington when in a split second I became aware of the Battle of Britain Flight approaching, with seconds to spare i got some shots. Great to see. Especially like the Black and White one. Cheers. dave

Thanks for the replies, as I cant make my mind up I kept a dark set and have done a lighter more exposed set! cheers dave

I took these yesterday and when I saw them straight out of the camera I liked the fact that they were dark, I have only cropped them a bit and wondered what others thought? Should I lighten them? I suppose I like the ghostly way they look to me! 1 2 3 4 5 6 Thanks dave
