Hi Gary

Nice shots. The Tornado/smoke shot is my favourite

It was nice to see you too on Saturday.

Perhaps you will be at Kemble or Halton this weekend.

Lovely pics Teej. Your Spit/Mustang shot is the best I have seen on any forum.

On Saturday I was just right of the grandstand. On Sunday I went to the right of it and the enclosure/marquee.

Another fantastic set of pics Martin to put mine to shame:mad:I took 485 shots and kept 40 all with Sigma 50-500mm that I thought were decent enough but will be putting them in the recycle bin also after seeing yours.Oh well onto the next show:D

Thank you and best wishes for the next show. I have no experience with the 50-500mm Sigma but by all accounts it is a good lens.

I was just starting to feel happy with the shots I was getting with now I finally have my 30D + 100 – 400mm…then I saw yours! That 500mm f4 is obviously a nice piece of glass…coupled with your skills I must add! Oh well, I’ve got another yardstick to aim for!

Thank you.

The 100-400 is an excellent lens though a bit soft from 350mm. Sometimes 500mm is too big. Unfortunately on Sunday on the 500mm it appears sometimes that I had a finger on the manual focusing ring whilst auto focusing. A majority of my images were out of focus because of it. Fortunately most of the images I wanted that day were sharp.

Fantastic shots there Martin , Like the typhoon shot 😎 What was the RAF Beech King Air display like?

James

Thank you James

The King Air Display was very good. The best bits were the high wing turning topside part way along the crowd line, a sheepish descent toward the crowd line followed by pull up dumbbell turn to one side. The landing was at a steep angle. A very nimble aeroplane.

Great pics! Can I ask what lense they were shot through, and are they crops?

Bob

Hi Bob

All taken with a 500mm Canon f4 IS lens with 40D apart from the DC6 which was with a Cannon 100-400 lens with 30D

Spit, Typhoon, Meteor topside, DC6, King Air all almost full frame right to left or top/bottom, cropped less than between 5 to 15 per cent. Meteor take off pic about 25 per cent, Mirage 35 per cent, Hawk about 25 per cent. All these ones were cropped for composition purposes. Only the Hunter/Meteor brake shot is a big crop for enlarging purposes, about 55 per cent.

Got better pictures of Mirage today. Hope they are in focus. If not they will be deleted from my computer.

Hope this helps

Nice pictures in spite of the conditions.

It’s amazing how Mr Holloway manages to ‘catch’ a balloon every time.

Cheers Nick.

I see no photographs of the Cosford show have appeared here as yet!

but I’ve got some I’ll post later.

I guess you will probably the only one then.

Thank you very much for your nice comments.

Unfortunately all my Mustang shots are out of focus but it is amazing what sharpening a small JPEG can do.

Some more including the UK contribution to the flying display

Hi Rob

I must admit, I have not acquainted myself with the new laws brought in last Sunday.

However here is a link to a useful site where you can freely download guidance.

http://www.sirimo.co.uk/ukpr.php

If a condition of entry is that you do not take photographs you may be committing trespass as soon as you take your first shot. All they can do is ask you to leave and it would be advised that you do.

However, Cosford is not trying to stop you from taking photos. It is just trying to make sure you cannot exploit them afterwoods.

As you have permission to take photographs it would be rather difficult to stop you exploiting those pictures afterwoods since you would have copyright and would have left the airfield. In this respect, I am only referring to a person’s own prints and web images of aircraft. I suppose they could try to stop you from coming back next time

However, I do not know if this has been tested in law. If it has been or is likely to be I would expect it will be big fish they would be trying to fry.

In any case most people who take pictures are armatures like ourselves and probably do more good than harm.

If you take a photograph or video at an air show with your own camera, the copyright of the picture is with you as the author. You can sell it or exploit it. That is you. Their claim to the rights to your own material as a condition of entry is unenforceable in law. That’s it.

It is only if you reproduce their own material i/e images taken from the programme, repackage there own video as yours etc, that you are in breach of copyright and they can claim the rights.

Excellent images. The Hunter and Lansen shots are brilliant – and great weather too.

Thanks for showing the images.

Only about ten aircraft made it to the airfield. This was particularly galling for the organisers since it is a long they had bad weather affecting an event like this.

However I did take photos of a few of them just arriving.
