They are awesome! I really like the composition of all of them


makes me really want to shoot an airshow

I hate #3... The rest are great!

Sorry about the "hate" comment it just that you know... implements of human killing and etc.

:thumbup::thumbup:NIce shooting. I gotta go with the first as my fave.

 

[mdcrisp2000]

Thanks a lot guys!

Bifurcator, you'd have hated the airshow too then They had a demonstration of exactly how an enemy base is infiltrated and then wiped out. Pretty impressive stuff

guessing that was Saturday as there wasn't any clouds on Sunday.

Apache AH-1 was a good display

Yeah it was the Saturday. I loved the apache! Such an awe inspiring machine. Same for pretty much everything they had

The role demo was one of the most interesting things I've ever seen. It made me wanna be a fighter pilot!

Love the pp on #6! What is that? Looks kinda like a Blackburn 1912!

Yup. Bloody impressive to see it in the air too.

I know you musta been snappin' away LP. Gonna post any of yours?

Wow, I love your wide crops. Shame we can't credit you for the display in shot 1 too, hehe. Nice timing in all.

Very nice. You don't mention what camera you're using, but if you can, try overexposing a stop. This will give you much more detail in the aircraft and stop that sillhouetting effect. Best piece of advice I was ever given. Oh and try dropping the shutter speed to around 1/250 for any prop driven stuff. Nice composition though. Love them

Thanks. I was using a P&S Fuji (F31fd). I would love to have been able to get slower shutter speeds out of it, but a minimum aperture of f8 and a very bright sky made that difficult. I was a bit scared of blowing the sky out too... hindsight, eh? :blushing:

I did my best to bring some detail out in photoshop, hence the halos. Most of 'em are close to 100% crops too, which doesn't help. Thanks very much for the advice though. I'll take it on board next year ;-). Thanks for the bump as well

Here's one I left out:
