RIAT 2008 despite everything I enjoyed it

A selection of shots from me. I will start at the beginning and add more over the next few days.

But let me start by saying a very big thank you to everyone involved in the organization of thy show for trying everything possible to make it happen. You should all be proud of yourselves.

Tuesday.

Its Tuesday it must be F22’s

On to Wednesday, and rain. Still the waterproof kit for the camera had a good outing.

The end of my lens had fogged up by this point. It made for a nice strobe effect though.

Very nice and that’s from someone who’s not a fan of paraffin burners.

I would rather watch a so called “paraffin burner” over something that looks and sounds like a clapped out lawnmower any day of the week.
