War Bird...Boeing B-17 flying fortress.







War bird.... Boeing B-25 Mitchell




I figure the "war birds" will return all this weekend. :clap I might have to visit the airport and get some close ups of the B-17 & B-25.

Cheers.

Hey Mike,

The osprey shots came out pretty good. Its not easy exposing them when they are right overhead. I agree about blowing out the sky.

Thanks Harry. The last couple of days ...we've had the worst lighting I've experienced in a long time. The lighting today made the lighting for these pics look "good". Went to the rookery today and got some ..ughm.. "nooky at the rooky" shots. Also got a GBH feeding it's not so little "one". I'll post those shots after I PP them.

Nice work Mike

I agree with Harry. The sky in the ospreys shots was not good. I like the last 3 and the sky is nicer too. It would have been interesting to shoot one of those last 3 with a slower shutter speed

Nice set Mike.

Maybe you'll be able to sell that gas mask to the fans of those bombers lol4

Thanks SStteevvee...Steves. Not much to write home about..but, good light or not..it's always fun shooting stuff. :uhoh Thanks for looking.

Those poor war birds were socked in today with thunder storms and rain. The sun did come out this evening.

Cheers
