Duxford, around 2 weeks ago

ah yes, it does say on the aircraft
what was your shutter speed?

 

[Hadron]

Stunning, don’t really know what else I can say

 

[Plain Nev]

A thing of beauty.

 

[Lepus]

That`s cracking , I can only guess you were inside on a stand or something ? As I can not see how you managed that angle , it looks like your up in another plane ! Magical .

 

[Dale.]

It's a beautifully crafted image, however it was done.

 

[Cobra]

It is rather good

 

[Crotal Bell]

Absolutely stunning.
I go to Whittlesford on work business a few times a year, just along the road from Duxford. I've seen the Spitfire a few times and other aircraft.
Would love to go to one of the shows

 

[Downes0106]

Lovely shot of the most iconic of aircraft.

 

[CavGez]

Really really nice tones, sharpness. Looks like a model! Great stuff

 

[Norkie]

Very nice indeed

 

[bass_junkie83]

Stunning, definitely one for the wall!

 

[ChrisF15]

Great shot.

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

"Excellent" aviation capture Piotr, liking this one very much.

Thanks everyone. To answer some of your questions:
I was inside, near American Museum and this was a run and break. It is when pilot comes fast and relatively low over the runway prior to finals and landing.
It was 600mm f/6.3, ISO 100, 1/125

 

[derbydude]

Like everyone says a cracker of an image

 

[Gadget-Guy]

OMG

 

[woof woof]

We all have our own tastes and preferred genres and although I can't remember ever taking a picture of a plane and this maybe shows how much interest I have in them I think this picture is maybe one of the best pictures I've seen of anything on this site

 

[Gazz55]

What a cracking shot

 

[EngineerDaisy]

Brilliant shot of a lovely aircraft!

 

[gramps]

It was 600mm f/6.3, ISO 100, 1/125

and it worked beautifully.

That's a stunning image, were you using a tripod and a gimbal? or do you just have very steady (strong) arms

Thanks. All my aviation photos are handheld. Tried monopod in past but it’s too restrictive when it comes to tracking the aircraft.
