RIAT 2015

Just went on Friday myself, and had pretty miserable weather, although it did at least stop raining by lunch time, and the wet weather resulted in plenty of visible vapour in the low pressure zones.

Didn't come away with many shots I was happy with, flat skies are not very complementary. Still it was nice to see the Blenheim flying.

Some stunning shot in this thread well done guys. Love the shots with vapour trails from the wings and the last shot with the red arrows stacked.

Great shots guys.

I'm gutted I missed this... I wasn't planning on being in the UK this weekend so didn't book... then, when I knew I was actually going to be in the UK... all the Sat and Sun tickets had sold out

Some great photos there.
Were you are close as the photos suggest or have you cropped?!
Interested to know what kit you have.

Nice to see some good shots being posted! Progress is slow going through mine today, Lightroom is crashing on every export! Google isn't helping either. Anyone has this issue?

Some great shots there!

Some fantastic stuff going on in here. I'm just about half way through uploading stuff, Flickr is being a right pain. RIAT was my first chance to get out with my newly acquired D7100. Bit of a jump but got a few shots I'm really happy with. Did really struggle with the heat haze in the afternoon.

Another one, after tweaking to get rid of the heat haze and noise.

Looks better - personally, though, I would have preferred the picture with a lower shutter speed to get the prop blur.

Cosimo · 22 Jul 2015 at 11:03

What a great selection of shots! :cool:

paul10 · 22 Jul 2015 at 12:15

great shots of the spitfires harder than you think getting multiple aircraft in the shot any one get all of them in a frame at once .

shadow_boxer · 22 Jul 2015 at 13:19

A few of my shots. Nothing special as just shooting with a mft and zoom lens.

Out of curiosity where were you parking yourselves along the crowdline? Was sat down in the Red zone not far off the Cotswold Club enclosure. Pretty good spot for the Fast Jets on take-off but not so much my hearing.

Lovely shots pete

I spent Wednesday and Thursday at Park & View East, Friday up at the blue section near the center point and Sat & Sun in the red section not to far from you by the sounds of it!

Finally finished working through all of my shots now. Got quite a few I'm pleased with although I found the Sigma 150-600 Sport didn't produce as many sharp shots as I would have liked even when shooting at F8 or above as I was for most of the week.

Here's the final lot from me. The first Belgian F-16 shots being the one's I'm most pleased with. They have even been shared on their official Facebook page

Ok a bit late posting..... but a few came out OK....certainly after the disappointing results from Flying Legends the week before.
For stuff with props I will next time push myself to use the mono pod to get my strike rate up higher.

Sunday was wet and grey start some some shots are flat and can't make much of them.... anyway as it brightened ......

paul10 · 24 Jul 2015 at 16:03

Does anyone think the Lancaster will fly again this year ?
Got my shoreham ticket today looking forward to that

NvidiaDan · 24 Jul 2015 at 16:21

I would say yes but I can't see it being in the next few months

paul10 · 24 Jul 2015 at 20:12

Dam it maybe duxford ?
