Ahhhh, great to see you posting your wicked-good aviation shots again! They never disappoint.

:thumbup::thumbup: Very awesome work Prophet. There are some serious wall hangers here.

Love the first and third Red Arrows shots

great work LP!

Slaphead · Jul 22, 2008

Seriously cool. So the Raptor was a no show then?

aarongbuk · Jul 22, 2008

Great stuff... and how lucky to see the A380!! I thought the show was cancelled on that weekend due to a water logged car park! I would have gone down otherwise!
Lovely sharp images.. You using the 100-400m L or similar?

Roger · Jul 22, 2008

really enjoyed looking at these, just perfect angles and that third Red Arrows shot is fantastic.

K_Pugh · Jul 22, 2008

I'm takin my ball and I'm goin home!

Awesome work man...This is the result of a really fast zoom/telephoto lens? Could you part with some tech specs on these?

Damn those are hot!

The F22 was only due to appear on the Media day which was the Monday and it did.

The 380 was there at the last one two years ago, so its getting a bit common at Farnborough theses days :lol:

Either taken with a 300 + 1.4x or a 70-200 + 2x
prop planes were shot at 250th of a sec while the copters were shot between 60th and 100th or a sec
jets were shot at F5.6 - F8 to get fast shutter speeds

cheers everyone
