Actually have quite a lot... some perfectly exposed, some in focus... not many of both

What types are you interested in...?

There is a Warbirds airshow every 2 years here... next is Easter 2010; have a new(er) Sony a200 so will hopefully get some crisper shots.

Interested mostly in WWI planes. Modern jumbos are like modern trains, just lack a certain something!

I Have a few WW1 shots.. I'll pop a couple up for you. Airshow is 2 days every 2 years, over here. The first day in 2008 was quite overcast and 2nd very sunny.. but you end up shooting towards the sun a lot... anyway.. have a look.

It's not THAT good... just sellotape it to the inside of a cornflakes packet and draw a box around it.

I'm so pleased you like it, it's made my day !

Ciao Andrew.

Of course you may process the image.... I'd have been disappointed if you hadn't wanted to make it better (see, I told you it wasn't THAT good).

I've not yet worked out how to use p'shop or whatever.. just the odd cropping/contrast (you know basic tools that come with the camera) so I'd be interested in seeing what you do to the image in time...

Your credit for enhancements obviously.

Hurricane did the work in the Battle of Britian, Spit got the glory.

Nice shot.

Thanks for the comment and the Fave back last year. You have mail.


Our latest 2-seater training Spitfire just got crashed a couple of weeks back... Seem to think he flared too early and munted the prop and undercarriage (as a minimum)... I still haven't seen it fly as it didn't make it down to the air-show last Easter due to red tape on the export from USA........ Dangerous weapons those Spitfires !!!


Cheers

Andrew

the other saying I heard from a Hurricane driver was:

Hurrys do the mowing
Spits do the crowing.

Peace
