All very nice Alan, you got some cracking line up shots, the light on the citation is awesome that is a great shot

nothing beats a few hours on the mound on the south side when the light/winter sun is kind to you

Cheers Mach one Think anywhere on south side is good, right down the runway you've got excellent views.

I was up the Mobberley end of the new runway last month and it was a complete mud bath, i was that muddy when i came off the path i was reluctant to get in the car, I love an early start at the halway point just as they rotate for take off

what are the trees/ bushes like on the mound where you were, last time i was there a few were starting to get quite high

There used to be a regular visitor to the mound that used to do a bit of pruning and he did a great job of keeping the bushes down but i geuess he hasnt been around for a while

I wasn't actually on the mound so don't know what they are like but i know what you mean about them getting in the way. Came well prepared with wellies as guessed it would be bad Ha Ha and it was

Excellent shots,
What camera were you using ?

how do you find the 6D and is it your first full frame DSLR camera ?

Its a great camera and yes it is my first full frame DSLR. Wouldn't recommend it if you use your camera as a machine gun like some do. I haven't had it that long so don't think i've got the best out of it yet.

A few more. Thanks for looking

Class photos. Southside when the sun is shining can be great and you've nailed it here. Well done.

Mike

Thanks Mike
