That's my view, anyway.

The guitar? Looks like a Gibson L series, don't know which one though.
I have a PRS Although it would have to be done differently...

The problem to me is not the type of answers I get but more the way they are put across with real attitude at times. Many seem to forget this is a supposed to be a help forum which means help whether you think the question is relevant or not. If you dont like the question dont answer it, it really is that simple.
Pete goes at the whole photography thing like a bull in a china shop, doesn't take advice, and doesn't show any evidence, here at least, of thinking anything through.
It's much more a case of him not liking the advice he gets, rather than people not giving the help in the first place.
The way I see it, it's his attitude that puts people off giving the help.

He was CLOSE. Maybe 50m away.
(I can't even hold the camera when they're that close, cos my ears hurt so much.)

Yes - but what does the top look like?
So many restrictions were introduced at air displays in Western Europe
after the Ramstein tragedy in 1988 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramstein_airshow_disaster) that sadly, these days,
many of the best angles are when the aircraft are a lot further away.

High velocity subjects are extremely tough to get good images of, and this one turned out nicely.
108mm? This is the full frame? Pretty close, too. Good job. Looking forward to the rest.

Just back from Oshkosh, I will say I really, really, really want a lens to replace my FA 80-320mm that isn't as soft. Really happy with the K10D.

There is an idea that a photograph should be taken as is with no manipulation.
Where does this leave the darkroom and the great photographers who made prints using every darkroom trick in the book to make sure that what was on the negative could be reproduced on the fairly limited dynamic range of the paper.
Where does it leave the photographers who combined negatives, maybe just for the simple purpose of using their stock of good skies
or maybe for more complex multiple images.
All this is creativity.
Are we saying that this is all somehow "wrong" just because it can now be done on a computer?
We still need the creativity to make the final image, not take it
The picture may be very creative, in all kinds of ways, and bear very little resemblance to the image. The trouble is, that increasingly, no one seems to care about authenticity any more.
