Monkey

Having learnt a few lessons from my last attempt before Christmas got there early (see sunset post) again very cold and yes remembered tripod torches etc< Stats where extremely high for Aurora but with full moon bringing different challenges. So soon as dark came it was kicking off but only for camera, later it got better and at one point we could see green by the eye. Hers my first edit (need to learn and practice this type of editing) and i am pleased with the new lens my manual focusing etc

Up on the Yorkshire moors between Hathersage and Shefield looking east to Stanage edge whilst waiting for the Darker hours

Thats a lovely shot Mic

How do you get to know when and where these ols trains are running

Lovely shot, need to venture over there some time

Cracking images

I think that’s because there a sort of Timelapse shot

Amother here where i caught an ambulance running down the northbound slip with its blues on and also what made me chuckle is on southbound outside lane car headlamp trail abrubtly stops lol

Thank you Foggy

Thanks Mik Camera is a Canon 1DX2 and lens is Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8L mk2 but to be honest any lens will do just setup and play around with settings

1st attempt at this sort of stuff with my new lens and im well impressed Manual mode 30 sec 100 ISO f22 manual focus

These are Uk designed and made Hawk T2 they are sold to RAVN Aerospace in Texas who are a private defence company currently over here assisting training with the USAF F35a

Wednesdays visit to see the USAF F15, F35a and Hawk T2

Thank you

Lovely set, wish i got some good light all im getting is grey to white skies

Thanks, He is actually a Hancock Lurcher, Red Merle which is a 1st cross between a Greyhound and a Border Collie The Merle is skin pattern/colouration and the colour of the eyes. Hancock Lurchers ar bred for the colourations and to keep one of the longest oldest mix of Lurcher as they wher back in the 1200AD when Lurchers back the where either Greyhound x collie or Bedlington terrier x whippet. but nowadays any sighthound x with working dog so modern Lurchers can and are often made up of several different breeds

Lovely set Colin

He is braver than me

Lovely set

I bet that your dog would go crazy daft if it met mine, Sithounds usually go loopy when they meet there own kind

Loving the 1st and 3rd shots Mik

Welcome back, you will find the 7D2 even today is quite an amazing piece of kiti used one from just after launch upto a18 months ago still grab when i need that crop sensors extra reach although the wife uses it now and it close on 720 thousand actuations

Yes he was extremely high I could do with a 600mm prime but too much money at moment, Think it will be busy there tomorrow so I’m giving it a miss But am hopefully going to Lakenheath Wed weather permitting

Visited RAF Congingsby the other day and managed to see Blackjack (The Typhoon that does the air shows}take off and landing and 2 extremely long range shots of a practice display on the day. conditions were not good and had to do a lot oon the 2 long heavily cropped shots to get rid of noise.

Lovely
