First part, more to come later.
As usually on airshow, AF tried his best, but that is one of those moments when sensible guy would think "I should get a bloody Canon", anyway... .
All taken with K20D + 60-250.
Thumbnails here, with a link to big version (1200pix) on external site.

Excellent detail. Just shows what good glass and extra pixels makes possible.

I think the Hercules and the Vulcan are a bit too tight in their frames though. Very good, otherwise.

(Note to self: have another look through the Vulcan shots and see if there's anything worth salvaging!!)

Very good indeed. Edges sharp, propellers blurred. Top effort.

Piotro, the #3 shot of that jet fighter is a stunning photograph! With it's jets on display like that, it's a stunning angle and capture and a pure joy to look at. Cheers.

And a few more, I really have to break my lazyness and do mine own "zenfolio" or something like that...

Nice Sea Hawk. I messed up all the close ones of it I took. I've got one just like that, except a ton of camera shake

Again, great detail with the F16, but I'm not liking the way they're all so tight in the frame, especially the A380.

Otherwise, terrific.

I don't see that kind of detail on mine - I'm hoping it's the extra pixels that makes the difference, since if it's my technique I may as well shoot myself now, and if it's the glass then it'll be a long time before I can afford better than I have...

Wish we got stuff like this in NI. Would love to try some aviation shots.

Having been to a similar one in ni you dont get close enough to get the sort of pictures i see here. Problem being they take off elsewhere and fly past the venue etc.
Will check out the bray one next year.
Thanks
