After being clouded out on Thursday I decided to give it another go yesterday - it was a much better day though still pretty slow.
I thought I'd try a new spot for me and went up to what I would call the Cad East Entrance, A hill before Cad East. The view from their was fantastic:
#1 View
For the entrance to work well the aircraft need to be very low but everything was coming through high yesterday. That said I think this Typhoon deserves a mention:
#2 Typhoon getting closer!
#3 Weee
#4 eeeee
#5 eeee....ah!
#6 100% crop for the pixel peepers (how much do I love this lens!)
When it got to twelve I decided to move over the the Cad West Entrance which turned out to be a pretty vertical climb! It wasn't so bad I just didn't want to look down to see how far I'd fall if the scrub I was grabbing onto decided to let me fall!
After a while on the entrance I decided to tab over to the guys on Cad West and have a chat, a little while after arriving all the other passes were put to shame by a Hawk from 208 Sqn (Thats the beginners to fast jets). All eyes on the photographers as they came through!
#7 Great pass
#8 Attention Right - another 100% crop
So that was it, in a nutshell. Thanks to Barry, Mark, Martin, Graham, Jim et al.
Oh yes and I stupidly forgot to take suncream...my face hurts :razz:
