Good Morning, RF Shooters!

[JimLeslie]

This is just a short note to introduce myself. My home is in northern California (Morgan Hill) and my hobby is aviation photography. My R gear consists of an R7, R50, an RF 100-400 and an RF 100-500. I look forward to enjoying the other RF Shooters on this forum.

Welcome Jim. Lovely shot - I'm also a lifelong aviation enthusiast. Any post processing here or straight from camera?

Hello & welcome!

Hi…and thank you. There was minimal processing…some shadow tweaks but not much more. Light was good that day. My preferences are military and warbird aircraft but will shoot airliners in a pinch. This 737 was shot on final approach to SFO recently.

Yjamls for the feedback Jim. Mabe you'd like to live where I do - on the approach to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, UK. Home of the 48th FW with F-15E & F-35A. Currently have four Norwegian F-35 visiting for a few days but I'm recuperating so cannot get out. Looking forward to some more of your photos.

Indeed, I would. NAS Moffett Field and NAS Alameda have closed so a two-hour ride toward Sacramento would be the next closest military base.

Hello and welcome Jim. Nice first shot, indeed. I haven't shot planes so far but always planning to go out for plane spotting. Hope to learn a lot from you.

Hi Feri and thank you. I don't know what your equipment is but I'll be glad to help you with recommendations. Aircraft photography is a lot of fun. A few tips here and there can really make it enjoyable. I hope to hear from you further.
