Thanks John,

Appreciate the critique, is this better, I've also cropped a tad off the top and bottom so the stalk end is out of the frame, Having considered and tried your portrait suggestion, I think a square option perhaps would work better, horses for courses

It was probably the same day Rob I shot the below, a Sunday 14th October @ 14:33 as XH558 flew low over Staverton Airport nr Gloucester as Messers Dowty which are based on the edge of Staverton made the landing gear.

This was one of the 2 last flights all out of and rtn Donnie, a northern route and a southern route, on the flight I caught her, she'd been to Bristol / Clifton suspension bridge and Cardiff and plenty of other places IIRC

I cycled over to the airport and stood on the bike to get a slightly higher vantage point, the police were moving on all cars as they were blocking the main road from Chelt to Glos

Black tile, 2 pieces of matt black card and a dash of water mixed with some natural light

100 iso - 0.6 sec at F8 and pretty much SOOC

I purchased one of 2YAAOSw0qFfOCZq" rel="nofollow" class="outlink" target="blank">these for my Wildlife Cam ages ago, its plastic, ok for the price ( £10 ) and I'm happy to leave it out anytime, also a decent height for any wildlife entering the garden

Without wishing to jump on Rob's thread to much, Timeline events do run a shoot with XM655 from time to time, I did one a couple of years ago.

645z - 28 - 45 F4.5 @ 39mm F6.3 - 400 ISO handheld
