Many thanks guys

Randy - they were at Alliance Airport this past weekend, I watched them all fly out yesterday evening (sunday was the last day) :cry

here are a couple more.. the lighter ones were shot from my front porch on wed/thurs when it was very cloudy (drab sky). Not as sharp .. but keepers i suppose.





arrghhh.. just missed framing it :bash









Playing with the post on this one...


Hope by the next show I will have a better lens for these types of shots..

Thanks for looking and commenting...

C&C welcomed as always

For fat Albert or any props, shoot 250th of second or slower... the frozen props lack feeling and make the aircraft look like a model. More prop blur would be needed.

I do like the shots very much. We all stop props until someone slaps us... I did it and you will not any longer. Looking forward to seeing more shots. Really, Nice job.

I was wondering if anyone would comment on the props, I thought the same thing (they needed some blur) but ignored my instinct. Many thanks for the 'slap' - and thanks for the nice 'props' as well.
