Phal,

I have to say so many of your shots look fantastic! the 1/90 being sharp and dome of the processing looks great. Im jealous of both your capturing aility and processing! :p
 
Love 10 and 16 Luke, I like photos with more of a scene than the nicer up close shots. The near monotone really works well.

You did good staying there and not trying to get to the show. Roads were rammed for hours!

What lens were you using for these, and you full frame?
 
Cheers Dup! The cloud and sun combination on the saturday made for some really nice dramatic lighting conditions over the sea. I was really happy!

There were quite a few people on the dunes and some down near the airport perimeter fence. Luckily, Blackpool Airport tweeted the ETD and ETA times for the aircraft operating from there.

Equipment wise, I was using a Nikon D5200 and the Nikkor 70-300mm.
 
Only very recently taken up photography and I adore aircraft so I'm hoping to build up a nice collection of shots. I just picked up my first tele today (the Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6) and it would be rude not to have gone straight to an airport to take some pics! Comments and critiques very much welcomed - but go easy, this is only the fourth time I've ever used a DSLR "in anger".

Looks like fun to shoot, the last one is the standout for me.

Yeah it is. If I'd had waterproofs with me I might have stayed longer but as I'd already gotten soaked through from 2-3 minutes of rain, I didn't fancy sticking around for round 2 lol

I've ordered a raincoat for my lens as I don't like imagining all that salt spray getting on my baby :(
 
British Touring Car Championship Qualifying - Donington Park 2015

Hi all,

Had a very enjoyable day at the BTCC yesterday, first time shooting a Sporting event and cars. My first time at a BTCC event as well, I think I'll now be following the BTCC a lot more. Brilliant cars. :cool:

Thought I'd share some pics with you;

Few pics from today... was a lovely day out :)
