Whilst I'm waiting for Superantispyware to do its stuff (thanks, Cheeseball!), I thought I would take the time to share some of my low level digital work with everyone. If I get sky in the shot, it's a bad picture!

Hi Cherskey,
You have some great photos,
What camera are you using?
Barry

Hi Barry,

Canon 350D (I think it's known as the Rebel XTi in the States), coupled with a 100-400mm Image Stabilised L series lens. The lens helps enormously, plus the fact I climb hillsides to get above the aircraft and then sit and wait!

Cheers,

Hello Barry , looks like we share a love of aviation!.
I post photos of aircraft for others pleasure { I save them myself} but I don't take them , no skill in that regard.
Your photos are impressive as you take them yourself --and they are excellent!. If I had a place in hills where I could just watch , see what you see -I would be happy!.
It would be interesting to know how you got interested in aviation and photography? ---you do an outstanding job.
If you have some Jaguar photos --that would be cool , and the {new} Typhoon ??? please post if you get a chance!. I am sure lots of people would appreciate it, besides myself.
Thank you for those posted ! >f

Hello Fidelista,

I'm not Barry, but I am the one who took these shots, dragging his butt up hillsides in England, Wales and Scotland in the pursuit of pictures like these! I've had a look at both aviation threads here - impressive pictures and some memorable types.

To answer your questions, I got into aviation early - around 4 years old - when my mother bought me Airfix kits of aeroplanes every weekend in an attempt to keep me quiet! It sort of spiraled out of control from there - 36 years later I'm Assistant Editor of a local magazine for aircraft enthusiasts in the NE of England (a hobby, not a paid job, unfortunately). The photography aspect stemmed from attending airshows in my teens, whilst the low-level bug bit around five years ago when I discovered it was possible to get shots looking down onto aircraft rather than the usual 'belly' shots. Much more dramatic in most cases - and combines my love of hillwalking too.

Jaguars have eluded me (and especially now since they've all but been retired with only the Qinetic ones still flying), but Typhoons are a different matter. I've enclosed one shot taken at an airshow in the UK during July in the Lake District (NW England) - I managed to find a spot on the other side of the lake the aircraft were flying down during the display. I expect to obtain closer shots of the 'Phoons as they do more low-level work in the valleys.

I've also attached a shot of the Red Arrows at the same airshow - can't be many places where you don't get sky behind a display team manoeuvre!

Cheers,
