Culdrose Airday 2009

[RVF]

Ok folks, this is my first time posting my photo's, so here goes
The day wasn't the best of days....it threw it down for most of it & the aircraft only really took to the skys for the last 1 - 1 1/2hrs of the day. It was a mostly cloudy day too. Not the best of days for what was basically my first airshow :|
1, 2 & 3 have had some PP in Lightroom, 4 & 5 are straight from the camera.

Well shot for your first airshow i'd say.

Crit would be try to get a tighter crop next time...

Thanks
I presume by tighter crop you mean at the PP stage?
As they were at the limit of the lens the next step will be to get a longer zoom.....which is on the cards, just researching which one to get atm

Was planning on attending this myself but had to cancel due to work commitments.

Wanted to test my new lens out on the day too! I'm also a newbie but you've got some great shots

Thanks again folks, much appreciated

We've got our Regatta here in Dartmouth at the end of this month & there are air displays for 4 of the days including the BBMF & the Reds

Time's running out as atm I'm wrestling with the idea of treating myself to a Sigy 70 - 200 f2.8 to replace my current Nik 55 - 200

if it is anything like sunderland airshow which is over the sea , 200 mm will be way too short apart from the large stuff , i struggled with 300 mm on a 1.6 crop

I don't think it'll be too bad as it's held down the river so you can either watch from on the river, the bank/embankment or the hillsides of Dartmouth or Kingswear.

Here's one I took of the Red's a few years ago from the hillside of Dartmouth with an 18 - 70 at the 70mm end of the zoom (it was the only lens I had at the time)

That is a stunning shot, well done .
