I don’t have close to anything like these monster lenses people have, but here’s a few shots..

Great work, just proves that with a bit of practise & a good eye, you don’t need a stepladder & 2000mm lens 😎
Far sooner see ‘honest’ pics like these than the implausible phoposhopped efforts.
Thank you very much, I’ll just keep on doing them with this short lense then! 😀

Totally agree Rob. And pics 1 and 13 re-inforce that argument. Quality.

every one is excellent. its nice to see the wider angle at times rather than the fully zoomed in shot showing every detail of an already familiar aircraft. that first shot is fab

Thanks!
Oh and do notice the chaps shirt. It’s a quote from the BoB movie from 69, but he got the quote wrong!

Good use of that “short” lens! The first Spitfire shot is superb, and I like the P-38 with the moody sky. Nice work.

200 mm at max zoom
Far off the experts, but I’m not there for photography, I’m there for the show – to look at the warbirds flying, not shooting them thru a lense.
The shooting is just a bonus so I can remind myself of what jolly good time it was.

How ‘small’ is your lens? The results look pretty good to me.
‘It ain’t what you got – it ‘s the way that you use it’
Love the Lightning shot – most dramatic
