Accrington Web - Today in pictures

[ATTACH]Attachment 43419[/ATTACH]Not really very good photos as they are night-time shots and my camera doesn't have the credentials. I don't have a tripod so it's hard to stay still for the long exposure. Tried some resting the camera on the back of a chair but the best result came from me sitting on the chair and holding my breathe!

Last night's full moon which was the biggest we've had for 20 years apparently. It appeared in a nice spot in front of my house photographically speaking being framed by poplar trees and the roof of the farm chapel. Shame they aren't a bit clearer but you'll get the idea!

I wasn't prepared to go swimming outside last night Dianne to look for the moon. It was raining very hard and thick clouds when I peeped out so I abandoned the idea of photographing it, shame really it would have been a nice challenge.

A few planes from around blackpool airport today, couldn`t get near the airshow as we set off too late, so went down to the dunes instead.

1&2. Don`t think this was part of the show
3-7. Think this is the Eurofighter Typhoon, photobombed by a gull.
8-10. Red Arrows.

#10 is my fav. Great pics.

If that's the airshow, when you've finished for the day take a trundle down the bypass towards Liverpool, you'll pass RAF Woodvale & if you're lucky the Lanc & other classic aircraft will be parked on the apron. This was from a couple of years ago.

Re: Today in pictures

We were in Southport on Saturday and I am sure one of the Lancaster bombers flew overhead.
I had just put the camera away and got the two zip openers tangled up and couldn't get the camera out of the bag quickly enough. I stood for a good while hoping to see it fly back, it didn't happen. Was kicking myself all the way along the pier.
I would have loved to get a shot of the plane in the air.
