A Slightly Different Take On Waddington 2009!

Nice photo of XX205 one of my FRADU Hawks, we have 7 in that livery, all 7 should be at Yeovilton airday on Sat 11th July & Culdrose on the 29th.

Some really nice photos there

Hi

Yes, it is the whole VC10 shot I am referring to. I could see on the day that he barriers and obstructions were a pain. One or two of my friends found taking pictures of some static aircraft rather awkward. The shot may have been at a better angle without the barrier in the way.

Yeah but that was precisely the problem. Had the barriers not been there then I’d have used a longer focal length and taken a more conventional shot that I could have uploaded to JP, just so I had a VC-10 on there. I don’t really see why they can’t put the barriers up in a slightly different way so the views are less obstructed. It would be perfectly possible to do. Ahh well… We do what we can with what we’re given I guess! 🙂

although I am not too sure about the VC10 shot – that one is a bit too abstract for me.

I have to admit, that one took the most time of any of them to shoot and it’s the one I thought would be criticised out of this bunch. I was pacing up and down for a good couple of minutes (most of my images, aviation and non-aviation are framed and taken within a second or two) trying to find a way to get the entire aircraft in the frame without offputting obstructions like barriers, etc, but I also wanted to try exaggerate the tremendous size of the tail using the 10-20. I actually wanted the tail bigger in the frame but those damned barriers were in the way! It was the first time I’d ever actually seen a VC-10 so I kept at it until I found a way of getting the whole thing in the frame, although I can certainly appreciate the composition isn’t to everyones tastes. As I say, the non-aviation/non-JP side of my photography was the more prominent yesterday and as such a lot of ‘non-standard’ images came out.

Thankyou for your comment and your opinion. Much appreciated. 🙂

EDIT:- Actually, I’m assuming you’re talking about the one with the entire aircraft or do you mean the tail shot?!

A great set of arty photos. They all look excellent although I am not too sure about the VC10 shot – that one is a bit too abstract for me.

but I sure the horizon wasn’t level in a couple of them :D:D:D:D

You’ll find several very un-technically correct histograms as well! 😀

Thanks for your comments so far, all. Much appreciated. 🙂

Nice set of shots of diferent a/c and views of them.:)

David.

Excellent photo’s Paul

but I sure the horizon wasn’t level in a couple of them :D:D:D:D

A lovely set Paul! I really enjoy viewing aviation shot in a ‘different’ style:) Although I have to say, the Typhoon looks to me like a raptor type dinosaur with neck frills, you know, the ones that squirt a black liquid and kill the fat guy in Jurassic Park!

Cheers, Huw:)

I really like those dramatic (wide-angle) shots. ´Black arrows´ of the PdF are great too.

Good to see some abstract shots from you, Paul.

Loving “IMG_2101”.

Aircraft or elephant?

Thanks for a very enjoyable day, Steve!

Thanks for looking. 🙂
