See you in Fairford guys!

Here the Red Arrows in action at the Reims air show this summer. The team from the UK gives always a great demonstration of their flying skills and the manoeuvrability of their aircrafts.

Today I decided to go to the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford UK on July 18th and wil stay a long weekend in Bristol. At the Air Tattoo the Red Arrows will be there to, together with many other solo aircrafts and other teams. Looking forward to see the Red Arrows again.

Regarding the picture, shot with the Sigma 70-300 lens without tripod. PP work, small crop, adjusted contrast and brightness desaturated -10% (due increased contrast).

Hi Hans,
Well done, my neighbour!
What striking colors, here!
To render a such brightness and clarity even without tripod is not easy to do! You did it with brio, once again!
My compliments! Annie

Hi Hans,
A awesome capture of these Red Arrows forming a great composition!
One can admire the Arrows from every angle in one 'frame'!
Great lighting and sharpness and an adequate speed of 1/2500 sec to freeze the action!
Beautiful colors and contrast with perfect PP work.
Great post, Hans!
Best regards,

Francis Xavier

Hi Hans, Great shot of the planes. It's interesting how we usually think of the sky as blue and the smoke from planes as white. Here it is the reverse. I get so excited watching the planes, I forget to take the photo!! hahaha

Greetings Hans,
It really shows that if you know your subject,just how much better the captured image will be. Perfect timing, with tack sharp details,I'm guessing this was a panned shot Hans?
The colours are so natural,well taken.

Hello Hans.
Well managed sharpness here.
Lookis good and very effective.
Hope you will enjoy Royal Air in UK soon.
All the best my friend.

Very good capture - perfect timing I must say! Good job keeping the shutter speed super-fast to ensure a crisp, sharp, properly frozen moment of action. All levels are beautifully managed and you obviously had good light in your favour!
Perhaps next time you could ask the plane in the middle to position itself a little higher, so that it dosn't compete for space with the aircraft below?
Nice shot!

Hi Hans,

Michel

Excellent sharpness here Hansie! I gotta hand it to you! I know the speed these babies are moving and you got it flawlessly! Your colors are brilliant! Good job man!
B-)
Linda

Hi Hans,
Picture perfect shot, the planes look perfectly frozen with the super-fast shutter speed. Very clear details and vibrant colours, couldn't have asked for a better sky as the BG. The POV you've chosen makes it look 2nd and 3rd plane from the bottom are almost touching. Awesome capture, the panning technique has worked wonders.

TFS,
Scott.

Hello Hans,

Fine shot with sparkling colours. Besides that.....You`re a lucky Trekker for your decision to go to Fairford. Grtzz. Nildo

Hallo Hans.
Ook ik kan hier geen genoeg van krijgen, vliegtuigen boeien mij al van kinds af aan en als ik dit dan zie gaat mijn hart weer open.

Super opname.

Groet Frans

Super action shot Hansie. The 5 (good number too) of the planes are all sharp and in focus - well done.
You should be pleased with this pic - I am!

Nice one Hans,

No matter how many times i see the Red Arrows fly, i never tire of their precision and display.

This is indeed a fine catch.
None of the aircraft are hidden behind another aircraft's smoke trail, and the air is quite clean, giving you an ideal, haze and smoke free shot.

Nice reds that haven't been exaggerated with over saturation that so many people feel obliged to do.

Enjoy RIAT 2009,

Martin
