EPMM training before Radom Air Show 2015

A couple of days prior to the beginning of the Radom Air Show 2015 the Polish team which was supposed to represent us at the show had their training in Minsk Mazowiecki. Thanks to an invite from Foto Poork I had the possibility to enter the terrain of the Air Force Base, rent a camera to test during the day and be close to the action itself. Similar to what I've experienced in 2014. I chose to use a Canon 1Dx + 100-400L lens for the day. This year we had a little less attractions and stood further from the runway comparing to 2014. Mostly MiG-29s and Su-22s flying. Nevertheless it always is great fun to spend some quality time in such a great atmosphere like the one there.

Preparing for a parade

15th August is a national holiday in Poland. For religious reasons and because it is the Army holiday. This year a parade takes place in Warsaw. Infantry, tanks, helicopters, fighters and more will ride through the city. The public will have a fantastic opportunity to see how our Army looks, and what they use.
Air trainings took place already for a couple of days prior to the parade, however, the final training took place one day before, on the 14th of August 2014 in Mińsk Mazowiecki. The air display flew over the airport just the way it will the next day over Warsaw. I was in a group of 30 people that got permission to enter the airport and photograph all the action. The event was organised by Foto Poork and proclub. Thanks to the latter we had a opportunity to lend some equipment for free for the day. So, instead of using my traditional set, i got a grip on the Canon 1Dx with the 100-400L lens from Canon. Well, it wasn't the only equipment I've been using. Apart from it I also used the 600mm Canon lens and the 6D body. I think I fell in love :)
To the point though, the photos (for full resolution open them in a new tab [ctrl+left click])
