Civilian Aviation

Had a day with changable conditions at Lulsgate and this made for challenging and rewarding photographic conditions. It was a little busier than I was expecting with Easyjet and Ryanair being dominant but also TUI with four flights.

A bit of fun and experimentation with low light photos as the sun disappeared

Your shots just get better and better Neil, these are excellent as always.

Thanks for the kind comments Mike - albeit Mother Nature takes much of the credit for the great light. The so called 'golden hour' only lasted 20 minutes and not a single aircraft moved. When the sun dipped down behind the cloud on the horizon I would normally have packed up and headed home but on this occassion decided to give the low light shots a try.

Fantastic shots with some really impressive backdrops. Really like the first and last ones. and the take off one of OE-LQJ (Easyjet) in the sun with the dark skies behind is a cracker(who would have thought Easyjets could be so photogenic and interesting!).
Thanks for posting them.
Best Wishes
Pete
