Flying is relaxing (Smurfie's choice)

Again a impression of the show with the Guilot bi-planes and the wing walk ladies :-) Well as you can see the lady on right plane takes her job quite easy: flying is relaxing.

Smurfie helped me out to chose from many pictures, which one to post today. So if you like it all the cheers to her, if you don't blame me :-)

Did some PP-work on brightness, contrast and saturation. Cropped, resized and sharpend.

Hello Hans,
Looks like the two planes are about to collide. So sharp I can clearly read the signs and see other details. They look so good against the baby blue sky. Greetings! Danilo

Hallo Zeg.!!!
This is Acrobatic on HIGH Level.!
Gossiemoppie, dat moet fantastisch zijn geweest op te zien, Hans.
Dit plaatje is ook nog eens super scherp en gedetalleerd.
Kunstig, hoor.!
Fijne dag gewenst.

Hi Hans,
Great composition my friend, you have captured these well, great action stopping detail with good motion blur on the prop, these girls are sure brave.
Well done

Great how you caught these two in such an artistic pose Hans.
Love the slight tint of blue to the sky,
it sets off the planes and the red really well.
Excellent capture.

WOW!
Fabulous composition -- the two planes look great together like this - the long lens makes them seem even closer together of course, so good planning on your part.
Superb captures with the girls doing most interesting things here

Hi Hans,
This serie on Guilot bi-planes is spectacular! This one isn't an exception. The placement of these two biplanes is striking! I don't think that I could be able to relax on the top of fuselage! LOL
Great clarity and superb rebder of the smoke!
Bravo! Smurfie has a good eye! Annie

A really great series!! Once again I'm amazed by the detail shown here. The colors are fantastic! Keep smiling!!!

:-) Helen sure made a good choice Hans... I love this view. Really stunning what these people do up in the sky..
No need to mention the sharpness, colors and details... they are fine!

Cheers,
Anneke

Waah! High drama in the skies! Fantastic timing here Hans, you really clicked at the right moment. Terrific timing, it's so sharp and clear and the composition is spot-on.
Great shot!

Bonsoir,
Smurfie, thank you for your choice of your title, because photography Hansie, the great brave, doesn't present a major interest without your title ......;OP.
So my friend, you are assuming we don't throw the risk of misconduct on a woman pfufft, what a shame lolll.
And to be honest, always the good timing for your POV, and the red button adds the necessary color in this gray sky. I love the fine details that you manage to capture, and adjustments are you doing to give us the best.
Hugs my friend,
Cocky.


I remember not to give title at our meeting of August 14, I expect the big day with impatience

Nice slow action captured. The intersecting diagonals make it more interesting. Good choice of shutter speed and aperture. Odd to see skincare advertising on planes. TFS. K2

Hi Hans,
this shot is simply fantastic. The composition is perfect, very eye catching, good focus in both bi-planes, good exposure and nice colors.
Congratulations.

Hallo Hans
Prachtige actiefoto.
Gr Jos

Oh my, that is TOO close for call Hans! Amazing work standing on the wing yourself for this shot! This is really a cool shot, considering how dangerous this is! Hasn't anyone told these people their planes are on fire?
B-)
