The Greek God's Smiled Upon Us...

Post by Heal1979 » Sat May 04, 2024 7:31 am

Happy Bank Holiday everyone!

A handful of photographs low level in Greece, from the Iniochos 2024 exercise.

Unfortunately I didn't have time to attend the spotters days themselves, but pleased with the results from a very short visit. I love Greece :thumb:

Cheers, Chris

They are absolutely superb

The angles are so much more pleasing than the usual top shot

Long live Iniochos

Very nice. Tooms steal the show of course. How are the authorities regarding low level photography or are you of no interest to them as you're away from the bases?

Low level the authorities can't do much about it. They appear concerned only if you shoot from close proximity to a base, and if you trespass etc. Best to get permission for base access!

Certainly was Mr Ranger. Must do it again sometime :)

Many thanks for the kind comments everyone! As always, fully appreciated and happy you like to content :)

Cheers, Chris

PS: my Canon 500mm f/4 IS is for sale if anyone is interested.
