Thunder Airshow

[tmbroe01]

Well Thunder Over Louisville was yesterday, had a good time at the airshow. Here are some shots I snapped. All I have to say is shooting planes is really difficult, especially when using a manual focus (I don't get very good results with my autofocus). Also, I really need a bigger lens!

1. Day started off nice; blue sky and everything.

2. These guys were fun to watch, they performed for at least 20 minutes

8. This shot made the whole day worth it.

9. Here's once the clouds came in and the lighting got all crummy.

10.

Nice work, esp considering you were using manual focus

Oh, I don't think so. Just needs some contrast enhancement to make the WartHog and sky pop a bit. Two passes of Topaz Adjust's 'Clarity' preset.

Would you mind explaining to me a bit better what you did, because that looks great! My PS skills are still a bit weak. I generally just adjust the white balance, exposure, light curve and saturation of the RAW file and then use the GIMP to apply some selective sharpening.
