Red Arrows Again .. this time with the 60-250mm

Well I have been using the bigma a lot lately and the 60-250mm hasn't got a look in since I bought it so As the Red Arrows were in and out of the local airport today I thought I would give it a blast.

First 3 were with the Bigma and the rest were with the 60-250mm.








































I must say this lens really does show it's class on outdoor portrait type shots.

Hi Mike, No15 for me (I think I counted right!) this is very different from the normal 'Red Arrow' shots we see in flight. Great to see the pilots for a change!, well captured

The later ones really show off the quality of the 60-250mm ant close range it looks like a really sharp lens.

All just superb,

Mike, these photos are just absolutely stunning. Goshhh, I am .

And true in fact being able to see the images and portraits of the pilots its really amazing.

This lens is truly stunning for outdoor portraits isn't it?

Have you received your new DA*50-135?
I can't wait for monday morning to see if I can still grab that last 50-135 at the old price . Will let you know how I get along.

I like all the shots, however, those of the pilots are great!!! Especially the first one

Thanks for the comments, they seemed a very friendly bunch of blokes even if they did swagger over looking like something out of Top Gun

Its a pretty special lens Amin, my mate was there with his Nikon D90 and was pretty impressed with it especially as he says Nikon do nothing like it in their range.

The 50-135mm arrived Friday but not had much chance to play with it, there is a soapbox derby race here at the weekend through the town centre so that will be the ideal time .. especially if its raining.

Let's face it; doing what they do, they've earned the right to swagger!
