Gliding at Dunstable

Here are a selction of shots taken inbetween flying at Dunstable over the past month or so:

This next one is 50 years old, but still flying strong!

I really like photography here, the freedom of angles beats shooting from a distant step-ladder anyday!

As always, comments and criticism welcome!

Thanks for looking,

Dan.

Steve,

The best bit for me was ridge soaring and having a seagull formating on each wingtip – bliss – a world apart – go for it – life gets too complicated later.

Cheers Brian.

Something i’ve always wanted to try…must be wonderful sensation with only the sound of the wind rushing by

It is a fantastic exprience, powered flying doesn’t even come close to it! You really should give it a try if you get the oppurtunity.

Superb shots. The light on some of them is brilliant! I used to do gliding many years ago over Salisbury plain and loved it.
