So this year we were treated to four photo opportunities for the F-111 Dump-n-Burn display (it being the last Riverfire for the F-111’s). Rather than whack up four separate photographs, I’ve created a composite of all four in one. Cloud and smoke led to a messy sky, but it was definitely worth watching despite the efforts of the authorities to make it photographing this event a lot more difficult than it has been previously.
I bet you did but looks like it was well worth the effort. I often stop here to get images of the bridge but I am sure on this occasion you were fighting for tripod space along with many others
Nah, getting there before dawn and staking out a spot meant it wasn’t squishy at all :)

Well done David !! Another excellent Riverfire image :)
Just as well the F-111’s aren’t flying next year, it’s getting hard to top the previous years effort ;-)

Why did the authorities make it hard to photograph?
Long story short – new security fences and poorly trained security goons.
– David de Groot
did you destroy the fence? ;D
While tempting, the fences were actually patrolled by hired security (not the brightest of people I’m afraid).

Aye, it’s a wee busy, but sums up the event well.
