A night with the Big Cats – RAF Cosford

A small selection of the photos that I took while attending the TLE night photography shoot at RAF Cosford.

My photos, which will eventually find their way onto my Flickr site varied from the conventional to the unconventional, I felt blessed to be given such an opportunity like that… I would have liked to have used some fill-in flash but that’s not acceptable when operating in such a large group. A great night and thanks to Neil and the RAF who gave their time in a good cause.
