On the way to the camera shop yesterday I came across this place, Originally an RAF airfield its now a gliding school, also saw a DHL plane land.
They have a collection of dis-used aircraft, I've no idea what they all are, but I had half an hour spare so I did a few shots. All done with Tamron 28-70 2.8. Comments always welcomed :thumb

    I like this puppy a lot, gubbmon.

    I also like this one, but not as much. It's because of the intense black on the side, I can't see anything. Pity, 'cause I really like the weathered metal and the canopy.

    Great Work Jon......
    I love the colour, texture & framing of these shots. You have found a location full of possibilities & have utilised them well. You'll do well to retun several times to this location as you'll discover many new angles on the same theme. You are off to a great start!!!

    Talk to you later

    Thanks Luben,

    It's an interesting place for sure, it was really misty on Saturday morning, but it burnt off about 5 mins before I got here, I suspect it'd have been really eerie.

    Speed graphic, the photographic place is about a mile from here, huge catalogue and they hold most of it in stock, Helpful too!! thumb.gifI Picked up some ND2,4,8 filters so I won't have to borrow yours anymore :D

    Your #2 and #3 shots are great.


    I love the composition of the #2 shot:

    Awesome color and texture in all of the shots.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I like this one. Looks like a flying submarine :D

    All of them are cool shots that show a bygone era.

    Heck, looks like all sorts of opportunities there and you made the most of it. Also love that perspective view that Andy pointed out. Very nicely done. thumb.gif

    So, waxy, you'd like this one better if his assistant had held an nice white reflector card or a silver reflector screen to shed some light into the lower right corner allowing you to see more detail there also?
