[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This past weekend, the weather was perfect for the CNE (the Canadian National Exhibition) in Toronto. The fair has been held in the last two weeks of August for 128 years now and the last three days are marked by a well-attended Air Show.

Over the coming weeks, I may add some other air show shots to the gallery, but I thought I'd start with this heritage plane.
This little beauty is the 1943 Stock Stearman, flown by John Mohr a commercial pilot who collects vintage planes. The plumes in the background are from the ever-watchful Fire Rescue boat.

The little plane was very close to the water when I shot this and I happened to be crossing a pedestrian bridge over the road so that the Stearman was actually below me. In fact, we were not allowed to stand on the bridge to take photos. I simply crossed and recrossed that bridge many times, pausing briefly to take a shot or two. It got to the point that I could joke with the police officers keeping the bridge clear. I offered to trade clothes so they could go sit in the shade :D

Tech: shot in RAW, converted to jpg, cropped, resized, sharpened edges, signed and framed

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day

Silke - like the POV not sure where you took this from but you get the effect of being overtop of the plane.
nice use of the background colors and FR boat water plumes.

Hi Silke, this is an original image of the plain and the fountain.

Very sharp and clear.

Take care, Yan :)
Ps: many thx for your great comment on "Gatineau Hills" :)

Great pic Silke with a great perspective. The blue of the water
with all the reflections, the water shooting up, the sail boat and
the plain all add up for a superb presentation. Well seen.

What a busy scene, with all this action going on. And you have captured the movement of everything rather well - water, smoke and the plane. Good job!
Janice

I think you get a perfect 10 for POV on this one. Not much more action could be packed into this. Well done.

TFS!

Hi Silke

I like the radial pattern formed by the numerous jets of water. Good pov with excellent sharpness. The yellow & blue colours go well together. Tfs!

Hello Silke.
That is a spectaculaire picture, you took.
Beautiful bright colours and the sunlight on the water and the waterspray of the boat makes it all, a pleasant picture to look at.
Good done.

oops :)l8r

You had a perfect synchronism to capt it at the good angle for the relation with the boat. It's lightful and all the ripple shinning over water!
Great work!

Aha, I see, joking with police officers - well if it gets you good pics.
This one is too good to be true, that plane with in the BG the Fire Rescue boats, I have been looking if you pasted it in against that BG - see, thats how suspicious you get when on TL!
Smashing picture - job well done!

Hi Silke,

Wonderful note .. I love the soft blues and yellows .. really great timing .. and especially given the timing a pretty incredible composition. Very nice.

take care,

John

what a great shot from your camera silke..
wonderful image!!

WAW !! A great action-shot Silke.
Beautiful composition !

Two remarks :
Why is the frame down under a bit wider ?

I seems to me that the phote has " noise ".

Two questions :
Did you take also photos without pola-filtre ?
If so, would like to see the difference.

Did you trade clothes ?
If so, do you have photos of it ? :-p

Well this is a beauty, Silke. The bright yellow contrasts nicely with the blue, the water screen makes another perfect piece of backdrop...
A shot like this is worth trading clothes ;o))

excelent capture
you have been able to put together in the picture the boat and the plane

the bright light is perfect for your subjets
the result is a magnificient action picture

Nice shot. Good timing at the air show. I think it could improve by using a bit of curves to add contrast and brightness. Have a look at the WS.


TFS,
Pedro

Wow, Silke, this is a splendid shot from a fabulous POV! The unusual scene is simply stunning. The water colour and glittering reflections are most beautiful. TFS! Cordelia :)))

tres bonne prise de vue,merci pour les comentaires.

SUPERB!!
It is really a great shot, well compose, the DOF add another dimension to the foreground and everything else is just perfect
Almost 3D
