Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken at the RAF Leuchars Airshow

Time

It was taken mid afternoon.

Lighting

It was was a beautiful clear blue sky day

Equipment

Camera and tripod.

Inspiration

Always one of my favourite parts of the airshow and on this day the contrast between the jets, smoke trails and sky made for an excellent photography

Editing

I did some minor tweaks and cropping using Photoshop Elements

In my camera bag

I normally have my Nikon 500 with 70-200mm lense and my Sony DSC-HX300 with inbuilt 50x telephoto lens. Both cameras allow for both short and telephoto images to be taken with excellent results.

Feedback

Get there early and take in the flight paths of the displays on the day to get you in place for the best pictures. Oh, and make sure you take sun screen.
