Wings over Elvington

7 May 2022 6:52PM   Views : 363 Unique : 227

Today was a 1940s re-enactment event at Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington. It was a good clear run trhough this morning, arriving at around 10:15 and straight into the car park. Previosuly we've had to queue, so that was a Good Start. Camera was the Pentax K-3 II with the SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm WR lens, plus the 70mm f/2.4 Limited for a few shots, but a prime can be a bit restrictive at this sort of event, so it was soon back to the zoom. A selection of images today, and for this blog I'll concentrate of pictures of people, all having a good time dressing the part, dancing and sometimes even singing. There were even the planes to look at as well, but those can wait for another blog.

The Black and White Revolution

When I was beginning my photographic journey the first must-have was a darkroom. Commercial printing for small "en-prints" was pretty dreadful, averaged out exposures and didn;t handle special situations well, took sometimes weeks to arrive......Yes,...

More than one butterfly as we were in the Butterfly House in Stratford-on-Avon. Armed with the Pentax K-3 II and the SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm WR lens I was not concerned about the lens or camera being damaged by the high humidity, although pleasant su...

A photographers dream, always something to photograph and models who don,t mind posing Smile
Am I correct in thinking the K3 ii is full frame, or am I confused?
