    Howdy Keith,

    Really neat shots, love the Afterburner ones, looks like you had a great

    day full of wonderful Planes.
    Take care,

    You got some nice shots there Keith. You made a Rookie mistake though (I used to do it too), when shooting a plane with props, use a slower shutter speed so you don't freeze the spinning prop. Some prop blur gives the sense of motion to the subject. Good shots of the ThunderChickens, and I like the AB shot also. I used to be a Crew Chief on the B-2's but I can't tell what tail # is on that one. The one I was assigned to was 0700, the "Spirit of Florida".
    Learning as I go :D

    Thanks for the comments - but if you look at my gallery you'll see I wasn't a *complete* rookie - I did slow shutter speed for most of the props, but probably got tired of switching between the props and the jets!

    The bomber here was the Spirit of South Carolina - you can read the name in another picture that i didn;t post.

    Regards,

    Keith

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you are a Rookie.

    I *was* a rookie given it was my first air show, but i did read up and try to slow for the props - believe me, I don't insult that easily!
