Duxford Flying Legends - My Take

Here are a few of mine from Legends. Haven’t had much time to work on the photos. They will get added in dribs and drabs so keep half an eye on my Flickr account for more over the coming weeks.

Hope you enjoy them!

Lovin all these pics. Another “jeeezuz” moment to add to the one Phil gave me a few days ago (I am of course referring to Phil’s pics, not the size of his telephoto attachment).

My mouth dropped on this one, looks like one of your all time best action shots in my opinion:

Thanks m8, really glad you enjoyed them.

I like that one too, although I am not keen on the framing. The foreground Spitfire almost looks super imposed, it isn’t of course :slight_smile: Seemed like it needed to be B&W to me.

It was a great day! The Buchon and the FW190 display was breath taking, there may have been a few wrists slapped by the flying committee for one of the passes :slight_smile: Bloody brilliant though!

The first day had a fair bit of crap light so Darren and I were playing “how low can you go” with the shutter speeds, hence a few nice blurry shots :slight_smile: Think the lowest success was at about 1/30th of a second.

Hey mate nice pictures wish I had a set up like yours there but don’t have the money to get anything that good yet.

Brilliant shots mate, Thanks!

I especially like the WW1 birds and the Fw190, such a rare view to see them flying

6

The panning of the shots combined with the low shutter speed makes for cracking shots just blurring the prop nicely :slight_smile:

Realy enjoyed them cheers

Glad you liked them chaps, here are some more for you :slight_smile:

Here are some more:

Lovely photos mate, got many more of the WWI fighters? Thats a stunning shot with the Nieuport and DR1 :smiley: It would make a fine desktop background :wink: :wink:

9

Great set mate (note to self, must get decent camera)

The two Spits is an absolute stunner mate, absolute stunner

What’s your desktop res? :slight_smile:

I have got some more of the WWI fighters, will get round to them in due course :slight_smile:

Thanks all for the kind words.

What’s your desktop res?

1280x1024

Buying a new monitor soon though, looking for 20+ inches of widescreen joy, a present to myself for when I complete the work on the new house and get us moved in :slight_smile:

Thanks Insight :smiley:

ps. what an inspired front cover for RoF game that the Nieuport/DR1 photo would make :slight_smile:

12

Aww, you only got the prop of the Dakota Norway DC-3? :smiley:

The 190 looks awesome. Would almost have been worth going for.

13

Great pictures, even the weather lookes amazing. It is as you are flying with them. :cool:
Feel a bit daft asking: but what type is the blue navy fighter reg 369? :o

Thanks and S!

BTW: I use the P51 trio as my desktop background.

14

The blue Navy fighter is a Hawker Sea Fury, Duke.

Glad you like them :slight_smile:

15

Stunning as always, like the slow shutter speed stuff
