    How 'small' is your lens? The results look pretty good to me.

    Love the Lightning shot - most dramatic

    200 mm at max zoom

    Far off the experts, but I'm not there for photography, I'm there for the show - to look at the warbirds flying, not shooting them thru a lense.

    The shooting is just a bonus so I can remind myself of what jolly good time it was.

    Good use of that "short" lens! The first Spitfire shot is superb, and I like the P-38 with the moody sky. Nice work.
    Along the edge of this airfield, the old prop-shaft airliners stand.
    Altimeters reading zero, formless memories lingering...

    every one is excellent. its nice to see the wider angle at times rather than the fully zoomed in shot showing every detail of an already familiar aircraft. that first shot is fab

    ITS NOT HOW BIG YOUR LENSE IS, ITS WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT THAT COUNTS

    Totally agree Rob. And pics 1 and 13 re-inforce that argument. Quality.

    Great work, just proves that with a bit of practise & a good eye, you don't need a stepladder & 2000mm lens

    Far sooner see 'honest' pics like these than the implausible phoposhopped efforts.
    Sometimes it's better to be a bumblebee than it is to be Professor Heinkel.

    Thank you very much, I'll just keep on doing them with this short lense then!
