A great opportunity ruined…RYR arriving in from STN on 30…lesson from this shot, wrong shutter speed, should have been in manual mode.

RyR departing back to STN with a 10 kt tailwind, no problems for a 738 using this runway.

WOW arriving in from LGW, a quick 10 min turnaround before departing to Plymouth for the night.

I love the landing Ryanair, it really looks like its moving. Youve captured the speed of the thing perfectly. It just goes to show that a great picture isnt just about being in focus or straight or cropped. Well done.

AGREEEEEED. Through making what you thought was a mistake, you captured something special and something it may well take a pro a few goes to get right.

Well done fella 😉

Guys, Thanks a lot, your comments are very much appreciated.

Si

PS If anyone is around BRS this weekend 25/26/27 it would be good to catch up.

Newquay should be the model for more cost effective use of airfields in the UK, RAF one side of the runway, civilian the other.

Unfortunatley not for much longer Nimrod, Cornwall County Council start to take control at the end of this month. Already a very large fence (CAA requirement) is being built around the field literally cutting off the RAF side. No more military flying as of the end of August, ATC, Fire and all other services will be handed over by the end of the year. To say I am dissappointed is an understatment.

Newquay is quite a nice little place to visit. Spent an afternoon their a couple of years ago on a lovely day. Surprised how busy it was. And when there wasn’t much happening you could look out over your shoulder and watch all the aircraft coming in over the atlantic which was equally as interesting.

Wow, the first and the last shots are excellent – mind if i ask what equipment you were using?

James

Thanks James, using a Canon 400D with various lenses, I am very fortunate in that I am able to get shots at NQY which are unique due to my access to the airfield. First shot was taken whilst sitting on the grass beside the runway threshold, second sitting beside the runway…literally!

Si, one thing I’ve noticed in your posts is that you truely do have great talent for capturing the moment when it looks just ‘right’, and that’s certainly evident here. Very tasteful work indeed, thankyou for sharing!

Paul

Paul,
Cheers for the comments, from you they are very much appreciated, I just wish I could be consistant with my work; I seem to use the camera and then due to my job, put the camera down for what seems to be weeks on end therby loosing my consistancy. Looking forward to hooking up sometime down here in Cornwall, I have the surfboard and wetsuit already!

All the best
