Hi all,
I was given advanced notice (30 minutes or so) that an RAF Hercules was going to be flying low over the airport I live close to Northern Ireland. To the best of our knowledge (the airports) it's the first day time fly past by a Hercules so I was excited to get the opportunity. The airport used them on social media (as did I) and then it was picked up by the local press. Always open to critique on the editing though. Doubt I'll get to reshoot it any time soon though!

I was using a Canon 6D with the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 with the Sigma 1.4x tele as well plus a mono pod for a bit of stability. In the shoot above I was at f/14 in manual as I wanted a slow enough shutter to not stop the props. As it turned out 1/200 at ISO-125 did ok although a ND filter and 1/125 would have been nicer.
C+C always welcome.
