Duxford Sunday

Paul Holtom · 9 Sep 2013

A very mixed day weather wise with everything from blue sky and sun to black and raining with most things in between made for very difficult shooting conditions. Added to this I was using a new lens for the first time so all in I am very happy with these.

Fantastic shots, whatever lens you got you should be happy!!
I left while the B-25 was in the air (was only in the field) after getting suitably soaked!

Was also in the field and if it wasn't for the haystack would have got utterly soaked twice.

Nice shots, cracking lens that 500 F4L. Are you using extenders at all with it?

Harry.

Paul Holtom · 9 Sep 2013

Didn't use an extender this weekend though I do intend to try a 1.4x with it.

OK, cheers. I'm hoping to save up over the winter and maybe buy one for next years display season. Have you got the MK1?

Paul Holtom · 9 Sep 2013

Yes got a great deal on a two year old MK1 that was like new, so couldn't justify the extra for the MK2 even if it is lighter.

Great set Paul...really liking number 5. Agree about the weather, forever changing light and a few dives for cover on the Sunday, the black clouds did do a good job with highlighting colours and smoke though.

Liking the Reds shot, number 5, lovely colours.

What a great set, love the Lanc, and the Reds. Have you done much processing with the last one, or was the sky that dramatic?

It looks like the new lens is working okay, very nice work indeed, any more to come?

The last shot with the Reds is more or less straight out of the camera, the light was really that good. Will probably be a few more when I get round to sorting through them all.
