The Royal Air Force celebrated their 90th Birthday with a flyover of London by the Red Arrows accompanied by four Typhoon figher jets.

I went along to get some shots, along with all the other photographers, here’s my best one:

Got pretty good feedback so far, what do you webbies think?

I’m personally pretty pleased with it. Came out alot better than I was expecting.

Most of the photographers used long telephotos. I have one (posted a topic about it a few days ago if your remember) which I took but decided against using it so that I could get the London Eye in the shot, which looks ALOT better than most of the closer shots of just the planes.

Used my wide angle 17-40mm instead, worked a treat!
