Hi all,

As anyone who went on Saturday will know it wasn't the best weather for togs, the aircraft or the pilots, but here are some photos I took. Had fun with my Canon 80D for the first time, love it! Hope you enjoy the photos despite the weather conditions...

Fantastic work.. My wife has the same camera as you and she loves it.. although she aint as good as you are at snapping

I really wanted to take my son to this but will have to be next year as we didn't have the money... we managed to see a few jets fly over our house so I took him outside... Surprisingly enough he didnt get scared by the loud noise he just waved

(hes 17 months)

Nice

Shame you went on probably the worst day weather wise! Just finished 6 days there so got a fair bit of editing to get through

Given the appalling light conditions there are some great shots.
Of all the shots I took the only one I really like is this one:

Went on Sunday and loved every minute of it. B2 SU27 and Thunderbirds were my favourites

Think positively:
Shouldn't it be considered good that cloud base is higher than few hundred meters and it isn't raining?

As for photos some cloud cover is actually better than very "hard" sunshine with very harsh contrast between highlights and shadows.
So while there's no blue sky exposure is very good with lots of details also in bottom of aircrafts/shadows.
