Red Arrows :)

[DucatiGary]

went to brizzle today to see the Red Arrows.

couple of pics.

C&C welcome, first time out just to take photos with the 450d







edit to add, no playing about with them in photoshop other than making them smaller and putting my email address on them.

got loads from today will go through the rest and put a few more up tomorrow.

Considering how grey it was, you've done well

I was there! The red arrows was about the only interesting thing that happened all day. I wasn't actually expecting them to come with all the cloud cover that there was.

As above, you've done well seeing how gray it was - I didn't even bother taking my camera gear with me.

edit: Just remembered the Seafire that buzzed overhead for 5 minutes, that too was very cool, so I have to say two interesting things happened!

yeah the reds are great, was the only reason i went all the way to bristol.

i got a few pics of the seafire but they are all rubbish.

Just got mine off of the camera, first time taking photographs of aircraft, too noisey and silly focusing is the overall theme. Good fun though!



\/ This one didn't come out as hoped, but it's my favourite







Damn trees/wildlife!

[DucatiGary]

that first one is ace

i think you where just behind us on that embankment, had the same probs with the tree so upped camp and moved infront of it

Just out of interest, what sort of lenses did you guys use for those pictures?

I used a 70-300 Sigma DG Apo, which equates to 480mm on the camera, then a bit of cropping in photoshop for most images - it felt a bit out of it's depth...as did I

[DucatiGary]

all mine where taken using a Canon EF 75-300 F/4.0-5.6 USM III (so my invoice says anyway!)

i thought it was 70-300, ho hum . . . .

nice shots Gary, I like the first one a lot! Had a little play with it, 30 seconds in photoshop

I must say I prefer the original, as although not all of the planes are shown complete, you still get an idea of a complete formation, a traditional view of the red arrows, that version just looks as though something is missing.

another with that darn tree in the way but i like the way the guy at the back is rolling around the middle ones smoke trail

Hope you don't mind I had a little play with one of your images in photoshop

Heres a couple from Farnborough that i was quite pleased with. Both have been cropped and a touch of levels in Photoshop.
