Duxford Air Festival 2018

A disappointing show at Duxford - not many interesting aircraft, long gaps between displays and all hampered by very hazy conditions. The Patrouille de France put on a very good display to close the show.

Moon Shot

Playing around with hand held moon shots tonight - high ISO so fairly grainy, but happy with the result.
