Hi Mark, thanks for the video, great to see some more jets again, we went on holiday to Wales in August, one of the places we went to was BALA to a boating lake, we were sat having an ice cream when two jets appeared out of nowhere, they were very low and seemed to be hovering, I did have my camera with me but I only had the 24-70 on it, I had it next to me but one of the family had put a towel over it so I was scrambling around trying to find it but it was too late the jets had gone, a bit later on we went into BALA to get something to eat did have my camera over my shoulder next thing a single jet came very very low over the shops I couldn't get my camera quick enough guess what... yeah it was gone, 😂😂no photo's again, good to see them though. 👍👍I can't wait to see your next video, Mark. 👍👍

[@MarkKerton]

No way, that’s really bad luck! Like you say though, great to see it and have it as a memory still. Sounds like you were on the edge of the Mach Loop?

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Very nice Mark.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Darren

[@Th3SilentObserver]

Glad it means something to you we germans kept those tornadoes in good shape! Great vid. Really enjoyed it. Thank you. Take care!

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching. I’m very tempted to head over to Germany and catch the GR-4’s before they retire. I think it’s still ok for aviation photographers to visit the bases isn’t it?

[@Th3SilentObserver]

@@MarkKerton I am really not sure about that and I would need to check, but if you do come to Germany please pass by for a coffee, it'll be on me and my pleasure :)

[@MarkKerton]

@@Th3SilentObserver That’s very kind, thank you👍🏻 Watch this space…😉

[@Th3SilentObserver]

@@MarkKerton UPDATE: I checked and found this guy doing this over here so it seems possible: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2bCYnehe8l9idU Manching is close to where I live, so that coffee would work out too :)

I'm glad you're doing well

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Marvin👍🏻

[@jameshardie9914]

I used to hear RAF Tornado's flying through the lichfield corridor from RAF Marham inbound for Snowdonia, i sure do miss seeing them

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching James. Know exactly what you mean, we all miss Tornado! So great to see them back in our skies for a few weeks at least. Hopefully they will return again soon🤞🏻

[@Youraverage_refrigerator]

Hi mark, I really really like this kind of aviation video I hope to see more of this in the future. Cheers

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Forza. Hopefully more aviation videos to follow in the next week or two

[@Harry_133]

Great video, Really enjoyed watching 🙂🛫 Would definitely love to see some more aviation videos 😁

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Harry. More jet noise coming soon👍🏻

[@grahamclark2299]

Good stuff, expended far too many rolls of K64 at the exact same spot at Waddo back in the 80's and 90's when the ACMI range was active. Thanks for a superb video!

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Graham. Yes, the ACMI days were some of the best spotting at Waddo for sure, really miss those days!

[@hbazzini]

Grate to see you are back into YT: Congratulations!

Thanks Hugo👍🏻 More videos up soon hopefully

@@MarkKerton Sorry late reply Mark, I’ve never done aviation photography but it’s something I’d like to try! Anyway away from that subject how’s it going on the football side of things ?

[@juelraun]

Nice video. Loved the birds since I was a kid. Remember in 1978 watching the Galaxy C5 coming to Denmark (BLL - Billund) for an exercise in Denmark/Germany. They were too big to land at the military airport close by :P

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Erik. The C5 certainly is a big old bird, love hearing them take off from Mildenhall, the best Jet noise!

[@BoxerTys]

Great shots Mike, good to see you back ! 🙂

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching, really appreciate your support

[@cadmus777]

This was fun Mark, great to see you shooting stuff you love!

[@DrCrabfingers]

Really enjoyed your video....Great to see Tornadoes flying again. Such a great aircraft. I was always told that in foul weather here in the UK, rain, fog, low cloud etc, the Americans were all grounded and waiting for clear skies, The Brits were out in their GR4s flying at 100ft in Cumbia and Wales and it was business as usual. How true that was I'm not sure. But the Tornado was built for European defence...so there may be a grain of truth in it. Great photo's Mark...

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Stephen. Brilliant to see the Tornado back in our skies again, such a shame I couldn’t make it back for another session but hopefully they will be back soon fingers crossed.

[@davidrichardson5966]

Excellent Mark. Plenty more please mate.

[@randyjones4239]

Enjoyed the aviation video. Great shots!

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Randy, appreciate that👍🏻

[@robertfox5392]

Great video, would love to see more.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Robert. Hopefully I will get to Coningsby soon and film a bit more aviation👍🏻

[@StephenDavisMonsignor]

Nice one, Mark! Great to see you again! I could have sworn I heard one of the pilots requesting permission to strafe the crowd..? LOL.. kidding..

[@MarkKerton]

Hi Stephen. Thanks for watching. I have been slacking quite a bit this year and not posted many videos unfortunately! Hopefully, now autumn is approaching I will try and get out for a few sunrises and capture the colours in the forest. Hope you are keeping well. Catch up soon.

[@andrewh9323]

Love the aviation photography! Really enjoy sharing of the settings as I fine tune my manual photography skills.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Andrew. Glad the settings helped out a little bit. Are you a member of our photography chat group on Facebook? Do post some of your aviation images if you have any

[@chriswynne505]

great video Mark hoping to get down there on Tuesday fingers crossed

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Chris, did you make it down in the end? So great to see them back in our skies again isn’t it

[@chriswynne505]

@@MarkKerton yes, mate Jon and I got down there on the Tuesday before the operation finished

[@alanmusson8710]

Still an awesome aircraft!

[@worldtorights6069]

Wow you have some absolute belters there Mark. Have you ever visited the "Mach Loop" comprising of "Cad East and Cad West in Wales. Low level flight training, amazing place

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Peter. Yep, done the Loop a few times. Here’s the vlog…kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DGhZSboJeWn9k

Great video Mark. More aviation please! Ever been to the Mach Loop?

Nice one mate good vid 👍

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Rob. Good to get a video back on the channel, it’s been too long again! This year has just flown by!

[@jasonpountney670]

Nice one Mark

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Jason. Was great to see them back in our skies👍🏻

[@7352tommy]

Hi. Mark. Love the landscape and aviation videos, but really miss the sports photography ones. Are you finished with the sports photography. I know you have moved to a different part of the country. I like many others really miss those football/rugby ones.

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Clive and kind words. My sport has slowed down a lot now I have moved up north but looking to get back into it a little bit if I can and film the odd video hopefully fingers crossed

[@garymann499]

Hi Mark. Please keep them coming. I live down the road from RAF Benson. Three Apache flow over last week and I didn’t have a camera or even have an iPhone on me. Any advice photographing helicopters would gratefully received. All the very best. 👍🏻😃

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Gary. Helicopters are always a good test for photography! Slow shutter speed is key to try and get the rotors nice and blurred, giving the image a sense of movement. A shutter speed of around 1/160 is about the norm. Hope that helps

[@marcioslsouza]

Hey Mark! I didn't know you liked aviation photography. I'm a big fan of aviation and photography, and I've been doing aviation photos for over 10 years now!

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Marcia. Yes, I love my aviation photography hopefully more videos to follow soon

[@pickle9607]

Great video 👍

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks Pickle👍🏻

[@johnmallett2217]

Great to see the tornado again. Would love to have ago at shooting some aviation. How do you know when and where to go

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching John. Whereabouts in the UK are you? Easiest bet would be to head to your nearest RAF station and have a go there. These tornadoes are at RAF Waddington until the end of the month I think. Let me know how you get on

[@johnmallett2217]

@@MarkKerton cheers Mark. I am near Leicester so will probably head to Lincolnshire. Am off to East Kirkby to the museum when I get a chance. Wife’s uncle was a Lancaster pilot stationed there in wwii. Could drop by Waddington at the same time

[@sue.Hoo123]

Really interesting to see something a bit different. I loved seeing some jets taking off and flying over RAF Lakenheath when I was at the nearby nature reserve. How do you find out when they are going to be flying Days/times etc. I’d really like to try and photograph at the Mach Loop too, but don’t fancy spending hours waiting without knowing something will be coming over, though having said that as a nature photographer that’s exactly what I do! 😆

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Sue. I would highly recommend a day up at the loop although it could be a day just sat admiring the view! You never quite know what might pass on a day-to-day basis as it really is hit and miss up there. Best place to go would be Lakenheath as they are always flying if you fancy a bit of a Aviation photography

[@OliverMay1]

Great images Mark 🙂 And yes please, more aviation would be brilliant. Maybe throw in some tips on how to capture aeroplanes and helicopters etc? 🙂

[@MarkKerton]

Thanks for watching Oliver. I will make sure to throw in some tips on the next aviation video

Hi I'm looking to get in to the aviation photography side as I do go to air shows did use my phone but think its time to trade up. Looking for some advice and recommendations on what camera to go for ?? The 2 I been told look at are the Canon R or the Sony Alpha A7 III. What are people's thoughts ?? The two Brand are mainly Canon or Sony I prefer the Full Frame an Mirrorless side. Got a budget £2000 in the UK
