Military Aircraft

hkdaffy

Hi !,

A big hello to everyone, this is my first post here and I am really looking forward to being a regular visitor here and learning more about photography.

I am very passionate about military aircraft and have tried to shoot pictures of them whenever and wherever possible.

Enclosed a few from the Royal International Air Tattoo in July 2006. This is a great annual air show organised in the UK and has representations from air forces around the world.

Will appreciate your comments and feedback

Cheers !!

WELCOME! I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I don't get to your smugmug site when I click on the links you pasted. I can tell you though, that you will learn a whole bunch if you hang around here. Again, welcome!

G'day HKD...your links are dead ..check that you have 'external links' allowed. Open your smugmug album & use the drop window under the main photo on the right.

Go to 'tools'...'customise gallery'....'ext.links' & check yes.

Hi there and welcome to Dgrin
Yep I can see your gonna get hooked on Dgrin real fast

This is a great series of planes, Airshows are just amazing events to attend, I have only ever been to one but I would love to go to the next one which will be held here in Australia in 2007.

What was your lens of choice for shooting at the Airshow ???

We look forward to seeing more from you, and hope you find Dgrin a great place to visit and learn from ...... thanks for sharing

Welcome to Dgrin. Nice series of bird shots. Thanks for sharing. Have any WWII war birds?

Thanks for the Warm Welcome
Guys, really appreciate the warm welcome, I am sure as I go along I won't be making some of the mistakes that I made on my first post.

UK has a very packed airshow calendar starting in April and going on till September each year and typically you can get to see war birds of all kinds ranging from vintage World War aircraft to the latest weaponry so you can pick and choose the airshows that you go to.

I shot most of these pictures using a Nikon D50 and 70 -300 lens and because this air show was in the air base photographers could get up close to the aircraft, I will post some static display photographs as well soon.

Take care
