“Ok curiosity has got the better of me..... How did you take the photograph of the Airbus and the Red Arrows? Or did you do a fly past in your private jet?

The starter motor packed up in the Gulfstream, so had to rough it in the limo
Going to be honest and confess. I was standing amongst all sorts of nerds and weirdos with telephoto lenses taller than me, all jostling for position on the flight line, and I felt inadequate
I recently bought the missus a camera for her birthday, a Fuji Finepix SL1000, as she fancies doing a bit of photography, but like me knows nothing about it. Looking at the reviews, this camera pretty much does it all for you, has a 50x zoom, but is a bride camera, so none of this changing lenses. Is basically between a compact camera and a proper one.
It has great button, which pretty much says "you are camera incompetent, let me automatically adjust all settings for whatever situation you are pointing at".
So the images of the Red Arrows and the Airbus are simply at a high zoom taken at distance. I spent the night before reading the manual, as the last camera I used was my iPhone. So genuinely chuffed with the results! But shows with these modern cameras, anyone can do it!
Here's a pic of a Connie landing used at maximum zoom and a couple of more zoom shots.
That's it, I'm off to set up as a free lance photographer.
