Nice how many air shows have you been to?

Duxford flying legends ( had press pass )

2 days at RIAT ( free entry as I helped the guy who runs the disabled enclosure)

biggin hill ( had to pay for this one )

duxford battle of britain show ( had press pass but was cancelled due to bad weather )

yeovilton press day ( press pass )

yeovilton airshow ( press pass but lost 1000 shots as my portable hard drive crashed )

duxford autumn airshow ( press pass )

so only had to pay for the Biggin Hill airshow

cool, what lens are you using?

 

[lostprophet]

cool, what lens are you using?

for close ups I use the Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS with the Canon 2x converter

for static and 'scenic' display shot I use the Canon 28-135mm IS. They are the only two lenses I have unless you count my very broken ( it fell from a great height ) 28-70mm F2.8 L

ahh lol, so these planes fly pretty low, or do you crop the images a lot...

ever hit someone while doing that ?

LOL not yet but its only a matter of time the good thing about getting passes is that you are away from the main crowd.

Funny thing happened at RIAT last year was that while I was using my EOS 1d ( 4mp ) a guy who had a 20d came up to me and asked if he could stroke my camera !! when I asked him why he just replied its a 1 ive never seen a 1 before

depends, what I do is stand near the end of the runway so just after take off they have raised their landing gear. That said they do tend to fly pretty low but when they are turning away from you I tend to crop in a bit

 

[lostprophet]

heres another... the greatest plane of all time

The AVRO VULCAN

Great shots, I for one really appreciate good aviation photography. I sure do miss the Vulcan. When I was young it would often perform at the Canadian International Airshow and was always a treat. It would be a dream to cross the pond to see XH558 fly again.
