Well the team display of the Guinot bi-planes was awesome. Those daring 'gals' on top of the wing even flying upside down! Thsi all is performed with a minimum speed of 150 mph! The vivid red and white aircraft against the stunning sky was a feast for the eye to look at.

Well enjoy a 1/750 of a second of the show, hope you like it :-)

Hi Hans,

Neighbors in the gallery, 'gezellig ff buurten' ;).
Exciting spectacle here, I like sky shows a lot. Good job by capturing this stunt so sharp and upclose, although that was easy of course at the speed of 'only' 150 mph... haha.

TFS

I don't know how you contort yourself into these positions Baron! I assume you guys are flying in tandem and as you pass her by, in the same position, you are taking the shot too! Just amazing! You are so limber LOL!! Nice work..amazing feat! I would have a heart attack and die standing on an airplane wing...HAHA!
Technically a superb shot! The fluffy exhaust is GRAND! Nice colors and good control of light here against that cloudy sky (bad photo problems with cloudy skies!)
B-)

OH MY GOSH Hans! Is this person crazy? I don't know how in the heck they do it, but I'm certainly glad someone is brave enough to pose for you! :D This is a stunning shot with nice white and red against the gray sky. I like the trail of smoke and the plane at the lower part of the frame. I have a photo that I am reminded of with this one... I'll post it one day.

This one made my day! Lisa

Hello Hans

I would love to see just 1 second of the show, with this quality of images. I am not asking much. At 1é750 seconds per shot, and one shot per day, well , we would have 2 years and 20 days of photos (^_^) to enjoy that second ( LOL !)

I am ready . Shoot !!!! (^_^)

Lovely post once gain , It looks like they are doing a pass just for you ( or us , TL members .... ). Excellent work.

Hello Hans,
Fantastic capture, very sharp and superb colours. I simply love this plain, it reminds me those used by «Major Alvega» a hero in 1st world war comic's books that I read when I was a kid. TFS

OEI.!
Daar zou ik al de grootste moeite mee hebben gewoon op de grond.! haha
Prachtig 'standje', die zou zo kunnen meedoen met turnen op de olympische spelen. Als dit daar met het vliegtuig doet, gegarandeerd goed voor goud.!
Trouwens, de hele foto is werkelijk subleem, Hans.
Sure one of your best.! Green star from Me.!
Grote klasse.!!!
Groeten van Jan

I honestly don't understand why is it necessary for people to put themselves in such positions, but I guess I'll never know, cause I'm not a contortionist and I'm not planning to be one, at least not in this lifetime. Superb posting, nevertheless, Hans! :)

Amazing shot indeed Hans.
What an attractive plane. The stunt is just crazy!
Excellent focus and freeze of the action.

I really like the light in this shot, Hans, and the details/sharpness you captured panning along here.
The sky is not what I'd call beautiful, but all the dim colours together make for a nice picture. The acrobatic pose of the girl adds a very nice touch - but, if I'm not mistaken, she seems to distract the pilot a bit LOL.
TFS
There's an airshow in Belgium this Sunday, I might go if weather (and Ann) allow it ☺^☺.

If you had changed the colors in PS to green and called it a selfportrait, I would have believed you, Hans! Impressive shot!
Cheers

Hello my dear friend,

I think the star of the show is the one who capture this beautiful shot... You! Excellent details, sharpness and clarity, I love the colours. Is really nice to see how you captured them in action and "froze" them in mid air like this with those smokey tails and such sharpness. Well captured my dear,


Have a nice day,

Cheers,
Sweety

p.s. Have you done planning yet? don't forget to email me...:D

Hi Hans, A spectacular sports action photograph. Beautifully clear and sharp like all your airplane compositions. The red colour of the uniform and the pilot looking up are well shown. TFS. Murray.
