Ok, these are more opportunity type photos rather than wrestle with the brain as to what are we going to photograph today! Seriously, the top photo is of 2 of 4 RAAF planes that were doing 'bog laps' (only 2 bog laps but still) between Bullsbrook and Gingin this morning and flew pretty much straight over the house. The photo looks better enlarged. This was one of only 2 photos that I managed as they were seriously fast - each lap only took about 2 minutes I think so I don't think I did too bad being that I had to run inside, grab the camera, change the lens & battery and get back outside in time to photograph them! The 2nd photo is of a private (?) jet that flew in an easterly direction within a minute or two of the bog lap jets which were flying in a north south direction!! Great to see them - so much more interesting than the trainer planes that we are so used to seeing.
*Update: Friday 16th March - Read in the news last night that Australia & NZ are engaged in war games off the WA coast for the next 3 weeks ... so I might get to see more of the above :)
