Great shots! I really like the Apache and the first F-22 shot.

Great stuff as always, Counterman. The HDR is sweet, as well as all of the vapour. Is that Shar privately owned?

Thanks guys! -Nate should be around soon, I think it was him that got a killer shot of the F22s on the ramp with the wall of fire going off behind them.

The Sea Harrier is privately owned by Art Nalls. I am not sure how many airshows he's done, but I don't think it's been too many. Then the SU27 is owned by a company called Pride Aircraft, I do not know anything about them.

Man, these are some amazing shots, some I'd truly love to have for Backgrounds. Very nice work!


All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the corps!

Thanks for the comments. Still have loads more to go through.

Edit: I am having a brain fart on resolutions today.

I know what ya mean about the halos, the Apache shots are pseudo-HDRs so it was kind of hard. The static shots are 3 exposure HDRs and I am getting really strong magenta and cyan colored lines around some of my edges. I would expect this is from hand-holding the camera, but its really annoying to work with. All I have found that works is changing the lightness and saturation of those colors. So the halo you are seeing around some of these are from that process I am doing.

If you have any recommendations for helping with that let me know!

The shots of the B1 are excellent.
I really like the one where she is just leaving the runway.
