Biggin Hill Airshow 2009

While it's not exactly landscape photography related I wanted to post this update about the Biggin Hill airshow that took place over the weekend. I returned for my second year as one of the officer photographers for the organisers Air Displays International and had a fun couple of days in the heat and sunshine. It was an exciting line up or aircraft both new and old and as always was well managed on the day. My highlight's were finally getting to see the Vulcan flying after many disappointments during 2008 and I was also impressed by the Virgin 747-400 flypast with the Red Arrows. In particular the Boeing's final "dirty" pass was a great moment on the Sunday and it wowed the huge crowds.

I've not got the task of sifting through and processing the best of the hundreds of photographs taken over the weekend which will keep me busy for the next week or so. After that I hope to catch up on some landscape photography which has taken a slight backseat recently due to other comittments. I've got a nice backlog of landscape shots to process as well but they can wait until darker days as the current weather is too good to miss.

My growing gallery of shots from Biggin Hill can be viewed on my other photography website at http://sjgphotography.co.uk/Gallery/gallery.aspx?id=50
