Ahoy!

Just a bit of heads-up really in case anyone might want to pop down for this freebie and hopefully get some nice capures (weather permitting).

Details at: http://www.bournemouthair.co.uk/
 
I'll be there all four days weather permitting :)

Can't wait, last year was awesome!
 
Weather and job interviews permitting I'll be there, long range weather looks okay (y) - long range job interview prospects poor :bang:
 
was last year, will be this year again :)

Do u think my minolta lens 70-210 will be ok for nice photos? :eek:)

I also will be there, contemplating where to go this year, on the cliff tops or on the beach, I think the cliffs will win though.

Would love to be able to make it ... I'll have to see how things go this weekend first, though!
 
Blast & Damm! I'm not going there till the 31st!! Anything else on 31st -6th Sept anyone know?
 
Last year I went up on the cliffs, found a nice high wall to sit on, only problem was you were looking into the sun for most of the day. Hopefully we can find the same wall again.

Yes, I've been worried about that, shooting into the bright sky, this will be my first time with a DSLR taking photos at an airshow - I've seen the advice for shutter speed but what other tips does anyone have? WB - exposure compensation??? cheers - Keith
 
Right, where s everyone gonna be then?

I had a cycle up to the East Cliff tonight and found a nice spot. Just need to hope that not too many other people go for the same spot. ;)

I'll be just at the Manor Road junction.

PS Anyone going down to see the World Record attempt for the fireworks tomorrow night?
 
I'm going up there in about an hour and a half.:D

I love finishing work at 12.30 on a friday.:p

Well if you can, get to Bournemouth (Hurn) Airport. A lot of the display aircraft will be using it for the duration, so you might get some shots if you're in the 'hood'.

I went To Bournemouth Airport this morning for the Red Arrows arrival, & there was nothing that I could see, certainly nothing at FR/Cobham. Got some nice photos of the Arrows landing & the planes entering FR/Cobham. Trouble is The Police have put up notices stopping any parking along the airport lane & they are patroling everytime the Red Arrows come in & out. So you need to park further & walk, or bike it:D, or go to the Bournemouth Aircraft Club where they are doing food & have bouncy castles etc.
 
Go to Bournemouth Flying Club..sit outside with a Breakfast and a coffee..its right by the end of the runway..:)
