A present to myself
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:58 pmI take thousands of aircraft pictures each year, many really, really please me and I will watch an occasional slide show on my PC for my entertainment. There are many which merit being printed and framed but I have one I am really really fond of. Taken at the "Wave" Waddington Aircraft Viewing Enclosure Car park on one of the first days of Exercise Cobra Warrior in August 2019. The jets were taking off just as I parked the car..oh the noise! I raced to open the car boot, get out my camera bag and assembled the big lens to the body, ripped off the lens cap and fired away with what ever settings I had put in the camera at my last shoot... I was truely fortunate to get some good 'uns, For a while I have been toying with getting a really big print done.. I went ahead and did it ,at 100cm x 75cm the acrylic print is BIG. For the office on the wall above my desk:
