Respect

So - went to Sunderland Airshow yesterday. My first airshow and I now have total respect for those of you who make these shots look easy - they are not!

The early part of the show was not great due to iffy light and then when the sun came out - those of us on the lower prom had sea mist as well - made for an interesting and very enjoyable day

Anyway - here is a selection of some shots that I liked - for various reasons. Most have had a small amount of pp in LR3

As always C+C welcome

Carl

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Nice shots, I especially like #'s 7 and 8.

Coincidentally, a friend of mine was flying the vampire in #2 (jammy b#$ger)

I think they're all very good indeed. What lens did you use?

Very nice, got the settings right in camera, just right amount of blur on those props.

Very enjoyable shots, thanks for putting them up!

First 2 are good clean records - the rest seem to have all captured the action and movement really well

Nice shots. I love the sense of speed in no. 7.

Great photos. I see it was using a Kr. Now that I can see what can be done with the Kr, I have something to strive for. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Great set of images.
No 7, for me, great sense of speed.
But I would have been very pleased to have taken any of them.

Take care.

Amazing shots - No. 7 does it for me - a great feeling of speed.

Yep agreed - great set of images !

Only C&C : IMO I'd have liked just a tad more space in a few of them though, cropping looks a little tight sometimes.

Brilliant set, number 2 could be an Airfix model box picture. Number 7 is my favourite though, I love the spacing of the planes & the cloud blur.
