Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines

Yesterday I was busy with the “guess the movie theme” I choose for “The Aviator” as posting. While looking for appropriate pictures I encountered the pictures taken on the Air Show in Ochey (France). While closely looking to this photo I was amazed how close the formation of these Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.

Well in the WS you find the fly by in close formation of the aerobatic teem of the France Armee de L’air. The showed great skill of flying. Enjoy.

The aircraft the Armee de L'air is using here is the Aerospatiale TB 30 Epsilon, a modern two seat training aircraft.

PP-work:
Shot in raw, adjusted brightness and contrast, increased blue tones of the air, converted to JPEG, sharpened, resized add frame and text and sharpened again.

Hi Hans

A good, upward pov, on the antique biplanes, with superb sharpness. I like the flattened perspective, from the zoom. Tfs!

Hello Hans! Wonderful shot. Amazing moment. Great effect. Good luck!

Hans,

Prachtige foto van een werkelijk mooi stukje formatievliegen. Ik zou het als middleman toch behoorlijk warm krijgen. Margin for error lijkt mij klein.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Edwin

Hi Hans,
WONDERFUL. Timing is perfect on this. The formation really gives the sense of how close they were and you have composed this 'magnificently'. Well done and HAPPY 2008 ! TFS Julie

Hi Hans,
I like your picture a lot because I am a boy. Good thinking to take the planes.
Philou

Ja Lowie das een staaltje van vliegwerk/fotografie. Je hebt ze echt op het juiste moment geschoten. Het is spijtig dat hun schroeven niet simultaan draaiden ;)
Knap gedaan.
Groetjes

Nice one, Hans. In the sequence (bonus shot) my absolute favourite is the last one, it almost looks as if they're touching each other. As you say, this is skilfull flying...
I miss a bit more space in front of the planes, but apart from that it's a nice one. Ultra sharp, your panning technique was spotless; of course, shooting at 1/1000 helps ;o)
TFS

Hans

edicion perfecta te felicito

Excellent capture as always, Hans. Perfect timing - both from you, and the pilots!

All the more kudos to you that you were able to do this on a Nikon, what an achievement against the odds! ;)

Great capture Hans! Loved the WS too showing the diff views! :} Don

Hello Hans: Stunning capture, and I love the WS pic too!
They look like bolted together!
Cheers

Hoi Hans,

Als ik zo de workshop bekijk zou ik eerder voor de links-onder posting gaan als je main posting. In het kleine formaat lijkt hij iets scherper, vult het beeld mooi en hij laat ook iets meer zien van de drie vliegtuigen. Maar ja, dat is gewoon mijn idee ;-). Wel mooie compacte vliegtuigjes!
Moet ook een keer naar vliegshows gaan! Je vindt dat meer in Frankrijk dan in Nederland denk ik. Zijn er websites met overzichten van vliegshows?! Vroeg het me ff af.

Groetjes! Dennis

Hi Hans, You have many fine flying photos, and this one is particularly spectacular. The sharpness is amazing and the POV very original. A wonderful addition. TFS. Murray.
PS Just saw the WS and any of these would be worthy of posting. RAW seems a good format.

Hi hans!

nice shot!
good timing!
