Excellent photos! You really do have an eye for the different and interesting shot. I look forward to more of your artistry.

Hi Chris

Now what a set.......

Not even going to try to pic a favorite from that fantastic assortment

Although that head on C5 (pic 5) still makes me think of Grommit, 'cracking' pic

Cheers for sharing, all the best

Very good selection, I particularly like the F18 in the mist.
Nice inventive use of the light conditions.
Stig.

[reheat module]

Super work Chris.
Some excellent imagery, especially good metering in tricky conditions.
F18 and the Liberty Lady for me, but all worthy of praise.

Hi Chris

Normally I would 'fave' any shots of 'our' boys, or any RC pics, but.......

Number 5

Trev has it spot on

Thanks for yet another great post

Just amazing - again! Love the creative angles, variety of perspectives, wonderful lighting etc. A real joy to look through these and very very hard indeed to pick a favourite.

Brilliant work!

1,2,3 and 11 are stunning! quite possibly my favorite post of the year in terms of pure photography skill.

Great set

Hi Chris,
What can you say, these are simply the dogs.
Great compositions, lighting, mist, light or dark all shot superbly.
Look forward to seeing more of your images.
All the best

Wow, thanks everyone. Your comments mean a lot to me!

55 - I walked to the fence line at the end of the runway (24) for the sunset shots. I had to keep moving to the left every minute, chasing the sun as it dipped

Cheers,
Chris
