Great shots. I love the cloud effects and the moisture trails add motion. Well done.

Hey Rod,


Those pics are awesome! I picked out my favorites above and I especially love the first one, with that High Speed Pass.., breaking the sound barrier and creating all of that vapor. The blue angels look great too, with very true blue and yellow colors and that beautiful blue sky. The only thing I would add, would be to leave a little more space in front of the planes when you crop or compose the shot.

Sheiky, thanks and glad u liked the picts...Ive been to 3 great air shows this year and keep missin this shot bad because of weather and just being so into the show i forgot to set up my cam for the shot lol...This was by far the best airshow ive ever been to and we went to virginia beach on wed and the whole week was just a lot of fun with all the jets flying arround the beach and a lot of navy ships crusin by (even got to see a aircraft carrier go by ).. My only complaint besides the traffic lol was i wanted to see the f-22 raptor demo so bad but when the f-22 started its demo it made 1 pass and just flew off,they later told us the jet hade 2 warrning lights come on in the cock pit so for safty they hade to fly back to there base..Oh well better to be safe i guess theres allways next year lol..Then did i night show on fri night at sunset that was amazing and on sat night on the beach did a f-18 superhornet full on afterburner fly by that was just cool ( i got picts of it but i had a lot of noise in the picts because it was dark out ) ill post 1 see what ya think... once again thanks and glad u enjoyed the picts Rod

Sounds like you saw quite some action. Very cool. I'm curious to the sunset-shots. I imagine they are hard to shoot, but I like the idea.

Wow Dan! That airshow looks very cool and a whole lot different than the one Rod went to. I absolutely love the big formation of props. I like all those props. They show so much action which is a lot harder to capture on a jetfighter. Very nice, thanks for showing.

Sorry Rod, I never saw these shots untill now. I really like the lighting on the F-18s. Those nightpictures are pretty cool! Love to do something like that sometime.


Anyway, let's kick some life into this thread again. Last weekend I visited the Dutch Air Force show in Leeuwarden. It was great, we had very nice weather(unlike pretty much every other year)


I had rented the 400mm f2.8L and it was simply awesome. Enough talking, here are 4 shots that I quickly selected. Hopefully more will follow later on.

These are great shots, Jan! Looks like this lens and your skill were a perfect match! My favorite is the last shot ...I look forward to seeing more!
