colinb 2,718 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Sorry, but I think I got a little carried-away at RAF Cranwell yesterday, the flying skills on show were outstanding. All shots are RAW conversions in Lightroom 3 Quote Link to post

Thank You David, I like the uniformity of the last shot but its not quite as dramatic as some of the others. Quote Link to post

Denis 3,434 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Without a doubt these are the best I have ever seen of the Reds Colin. A terrific set Edited August 31, 2018 by Denis 1 Quote Link to post

Ryewolf 8,780 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Nice set of images Colin, I really like the image with just the lone jet.... 1 Quote Link to post
vanguard 619 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 You just can’t go wrong with the red arrows. Lovely images. 1 Quote Link to post
johntwo 2,543 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 That is an outstanding series Colin. It seems picky to highlight any of them but the first image and the tenth image just push ahead of the rest by a nose. Super work. 1 Quote Link to post
Hatter 1,570 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Fabulous shots, Colin. Is the "circular" manoeuvre (Pic 1 & 2) new? I don't recall ever seeing that one before. 1 Quote Link to post
Clicker 6,794 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think they did it on 100 year celebration earlier this year Gareth...didn't they call it the corkscrew?.... 2 Quote Link to post
Hatter 1,570 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Oooh - no... I definitely haven't seen that before. It must be a few years since I've seen a display though. Thanks for posting the video. 2 Quote Link to post

I don't recall ever seeing that one before. Good question Gareth, I think it was last year I first saw the Halo being displayed, although with RAF Scampton just a few miles away we often see displays that are 'in practice'. Works best when the Reds are head-on to the audience but with so many restriction these days they can't always do that. Many thanks to you all for the terrific response and wonderful replies. And one final pic I forgot... 2 Quote Link to post

Lens used - Nikon 55/300mm VR a good lens for the price, although they seem to have jumped up a little in price since I bought mine a couple of years ago. I am considering buying something a little longer, I really could use a 600mm, maybe later in the year we will have to see how the 'spare cash' flow goes. Quote Link to post
