Yesterday I was quite humbled by an e-mail I got from a member of the A-10 West Demo Team. He asked me if I would supply him with a few super hi-res shots that he could use in a frame. I very rarely keep hi-res versions of my final shots because at 300mb a pop it adds up pretty fast in a TIFF format. Which I think in this case was a good thing, because I was able to get rid of alot of JPEG artifacts and send the Team member a smooth image. However, due to the amount of response I got from folks, I decided to take the new edits and offer it up as wallpaper.

Enjoy! The size linked in the URL is about 1930x1300 when you add in the frame. If anyone wants or needs a different size PM me and I'll resize the original for you!

Very nice, I miss seeing the A-10. There used to be seemingly hundreds of the things flying overhead in pairs during the late eighties, all from the 'long dead' woodbridge/bentwaters airbase.

Beautiful, I'm sure the Demo Team will appreciate them. I'm spoiled because, living in Tucson, I get to see A-10's almost every day. But it's always awesome when they do a FCF.

That first one is gorgeous. Do you by chance have the second one at hi-res before the HDR treatment?

Thanks for the great comments guys. Much appreciated!

OK. Here are some resize requests. These were originally edited for a widescreen, so some of the requests wanted a more 'square' resoultion, 1600x1200 is a good example, which shortened the a/c, but still could work.
