Waddington Airshow 30/06/07 (Image Heavy !)

[GAELICSTORM7]

Hi Guys,

Here's a few from a very wet day at Waddington yesterday (still trying to dry out !), excuse me if I'v wrongly I.D'd the planes !

Just also have to mention all images were taken with the 1D mkII and 300mm f4 'L' with the 1.4x converter (all wrapped in a plastic bag with an elastic band arond the lens hood !), and are presented uncropped, considering the awful conditions I'm hugely impressed with the results, think I'm gonna like this combination.

Sorry for all the images, but thought I'd share them all in just 1 thread !

Comments as always most welcome.

love these shots, the damp weather has produced some good vapour shots, great image quality.

 

[RickMezza]

Very nice shots, esp considring the conditions. Well done

 

[Les McLean]

Spitfire is the pick for me, although all good.
I'd have liked a bit more empty space for the planes to fly into on a couple.
Good work under the conditions

Great shots, love these plane pictures.

Thanks for the kind words guys, your words make getting wet almost worth it !

Nice shots indeed, it aint easy in the rain. The helix pattern the white prop tips make on the Herc always amazes me. Did they do the role demo?
Well done

Thanks for the comments guys , the role demo didn't happen Dino, weather was just to bad :-(.

Chris, sorry to hear about your wasted journey, thats a real downer mate, just been looking at Duxford, like the sound of them all !, especially the flying legends, abit skint now this month, so I guess that ones out of the question, but might try for one of the others though.
