Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Tottered down to RIAT 2011

Post by StevieBeats »

Hi,

My effort from RIAT. Was located at Totterdown Farm.
3 days shooting with 600 left me exhausted but was well worth the trip.

A quick "Totterdown Farm Fairford"-search at Google resulted in the campingsite at the North of the runway: 2 Rhymes Barn Farm, Fairford, Gloucestershire GL7 4BU, UK. I think it's this one?

Some nice shots this time Stevie!

Correct, the fields face the airshow and therefore the Sun in in your face until about 4pm. That worked out ok as I had my back to the airshow and caught aircraft as they looped around from the flightline and set up for their next manoeuvres.

Still shot over 3,000 images into the direction of sun, now mostly all binned :)

What sort of gear do you use. What lenses?
