No Fairford photo thread yet?...oh well, I'll start one....

[Mrs NucSquash]

Hi All,

I am sure many of you are doing the same as me and trying to sort through the many photos you have of your day at fairford. I think I took around 800 shots today, I have narrowed them down to 280 and then after having another good look I have finally got down to 134 I believe.

It was a great day. It did however take around 3 hours to get to fairford from Devizes but hey ho, it was worth it. The weather was lovely and the sky in most of my photos is a nice deep blue. Anyway I hope you all had a great time. Please feel free to add your photos of fairford on this thread but I shall start:

Very nice...thanks....

[350Wedge]

Very good pics there

Will get some of mine up tomorrow, too tired to do much this evening !

[Famous Graham]

Ah good - the Spanish Typhoon is attending. He always puts on a good show

[kiwisr]

Some of mine, didn't take that many as I realised a 200mm lens wasn't going to be enough.

[Mrs NucSquash]

kiwisr - Where were you stood today? Your photos are very similar to mine and I wonder whether we were standing near eachother? Were you anywhere near the disabled paddock??

Nik

p.s - great photos by the way

[kiwisr]

Thanks, Next to some sort of paddock, Jubilee Paddock I think. In the public area in front of the grandstand. I moved around a bit though as most people seemed to have set up their own little camping areas by the time I got there.

Will try and post some of mine tomorrow.

[350Wedge]

Nice photos everyone , wish I could have gone How close were the display team (blue angels?) in photo G looks awesome.

350Wedge, don't keep us in suspense too long

[Mrs NucSquash]

...is it working now??

Yes it is

Following on from the above thread yes the Thunderbirds (not blue angels ) were quite close though i was using my 70 - 300 lense, which helped. Anyways, finished going through all my photos now so here are a few more. (Apologies if I have posted double of a photo)

O.K here we go.

Had to spend ages with the clone tool (dust spots) and the cropping tool to get the most out of these. Here are a small selection of 900+ photos.






















RAF Role Demo.











End of the day balloon launch.

[350Wedge]

Right here we go, here are some of mime from yesterday. Have loads to choose from...lol.

Supraman...Must have been standing pretty close to where you were as have a lot of very similar shots. I was standing about 50ft from Shadytree all day and didnt spot him until almost the end of the day...

Anyways on with the photo's !!

[cannedheat]

Some awesome pics there, the B1-B photographs so well...

[rhubarb]

Fantastic shots 350Wedge Especially like the first one, especially as I've never seen one close up, and the thunderbirds shot against the dark sky is great.

[JonRB]

Some great shots there, guys. Keep 'em coming.

[anonymous-user]

Wish this one had come out a bit sharper.

[350Wedge]

Slight crop on another photo I took but reckon it looks pretty good....
