The Red Arrows

[Revels]

Well as it's the summer, they're out and about again! Ian photographed them a few weeks ago and I think Paul is going to see them tomorrow, so here is my few.

Not that happy with them really. I thought 300mm would get me closer, they didn't fly as low as they did last year Plus the sun made it really difficult as they were flying directly infront of it. So adjusting expose etc was pointless, just tried to find a balance. I haven't even attempted to edit them. So other than the b/w version, they're all straight from the camera.

Anyway..

Few more here.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/revels/sets/72157621979158682/

Can't remember what resolution your camera is, but I bet #1 would look absolutely mint blown up to about A2 or 1.

Looks like your weather was a lot kinder than at Fairford, it was more a case of avoid getting rain on the lens than avoid shooting into the sun then lol.

Good work dude.

Cheers mate.

Yeh, I think it would look quite good large. I don't want to end up with loads of my own prints everywhere. Going to get the tiger printed I think.. Mebbe that one too! hmmmm lol..

Obviously living in Lincoln i get to see them basically every day when the weather is nice. You start to take them for granted.

But awesome pics Mr. R good to see them captured from a photographer's point if view rather than a local's.

Nice pics Dan. They put on a great display over Bristol this afternoon, tomorrows job is to weed out the good ones..... 6.5 frames/sec means there's quite a few to weed through!

I found 200mm a little short and would have loved another 200mm for head-on closeups.
