Hi folks,
Those of you that know me will know that when I'm out my Dad (Ken) is only just down the road somewhere as well.
Having been a mountaineer in his younger days and a keen Fell and hillwalker most of his life,unfortunately it's took it's toll on his knees and he can no longer climb to the places we reach,
After upgrading my kit last month,Dad is now using the Olympus E500 with 70-300mm and has been wanting to have a go at LL himself,
He's aware that he should have dropped the shutter speed for the Hercs lol,but overall I think he's done quite well for a first go at it
Here's a few from him from a slightly different angle.......................

Well Mark looks like you have hooked another tog on the low flying! I like the two ship shot. Long time since I’ve witnessed one of those. Oh for the Eagle Lift exercises.
“Well done Ken”
