Ready for the show

Tomorrow I'll fly to the Royal International Ait Tattoo to watch the show at Fairford. Hopfully the weather is fine so I'm able to catch some good shots of the the Red Airrows in action (and many more).

This picture I took at the Air Show at Reims in France. Used the Signa 70-300mm lens and cropped it in a panorama view to enhance the wide effect of the Red Arrow hawk aircraft at the line, ready for their show.

PP work, no adjustment of colours, brightness and contrast. Cropped and resized, add small frame.

Hi Hans,
An excellent perspective with these aircraft creating a symmetrical pattern.
A nice POV with ample DOF!
I like the men dressed in blue...very contrasting!
Wonderful light and sharp focusing.
Great capture.
Well done,

Francis Xavier

Nice one Hans. Great shallow crop to give a panoramic view of the planes. Colors are great, pilots in blue going about their business are a nice contrast... very nicely taken.
Have a nice weekend.

Congratulation.

Hi Hans,

Nice symmetry, the panoramic crop is perfect for this shot. Striking color contrast between the red and blue, with perfect DOF. Very cool shot!

Best regards,
Werner

Salut Hans.
Une belle composition avec cet alignement des avions des Red Arrow qui est une des bonnes patrouilles acrobatiques.
Bonne journée.
Urs

Whoa....dizzy...did you tilt horizon on purpose? I think it would be good straight. I love the long crop here, the reds are super nice! I like the men walking in the shot, can't wait to see more!

Hi Hans,
Nice shot. I also noticed the horizon too, although thought it could have just been my eyes as I have just woken up for the day, lol. Can only imagine how many millions these planes are all worth, they look very bold and eye-catching lined up like that. Good non-distracting flat sky, the DOF looks nice and deep too. Well taken.

TFS,
Scott.

P.S. Have fun tomorrow! :).

Hi Hans,

Very neat effect with the panorama view. It suits the photo nicely. So many planes lined up perfectly really point to the talented pilots that are walking to fly.

Nice photo for my aviation theme. :) Lisa

Ha Ha..excitement is setting in Hans,

I find myself doing the same thing. Trudging through previous air-show shots to upload prior to the next show.

This is a nice one Hans.
Love the symmetry on this and really good colour too. Really clean, crisp image

Camera settings set to AWB or did you use a custom white balance?
Very accurate and impressive reds.

Nice one,

well done

Hello Hans.
Well presented shot.
Good perspective and image looks very effective.
Symmetry! That is all about.

Hello,
Magnificent shot!
That's very nice to see Red Arrows on the ground, but I am waiting for your shot of them in the air :) Excellent POV and DOF.

Hi Hans, this is a perfect image and I can see, that you have super results with the sigma 70-300mm lense, which I love so much, too.The composition of this photo is perfect.
Regards Rose

hi bro,
trust linda to point out your faults. she does it to me all the time. typical woman!!!!

the pano crop has given this more drama. the inclusion of the guys adds scale and gives better composition.
nice one.
SEEKER OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE.

you can buy an electronic spirit level that fits on the hotshoe.

Good panoramic Hans, very sharp, deep DOF, good colour. The thing about this is having to decide to have a straight horizon and tilted Arrows or straighten the Arrows into the pano frame and I think you've made the right choice here....

Have a pat on the back and a green smiley for this one ;-)
