Wonderful photos.

Did the Zero look as flimsy as it was?

That Warhawk is excellent. Although it's missing a focusing subject for me... but that's not your fault. There ought to be something near the canopy that would be the center of attention...

Frenzied -

Looks pretty sturdy to me. I have several more photos of it that show it. Really was a nice airplane. I think the shiny tan paint makes it look more sturdy rather then the matte white or green paint.

RSC -

For me the focal point is the front of the canopy to the spinner, with the canopy providing the reflections of the sky above. -Something like that. wink

Thanks Mate. Really means alot when another photographer takes notice. Lots of trial and error.

Unfortunately, I won't be processing any photos till next week now. My video card is toast. Something happened with the GPU cooling system and it overheated. Still 'works' but only in 800x600 with yellow lines through the monitor. -My system doesn't even recognize the card. New one should be here next week Tuesday. So by then I'll have more Oshkosh photos in the queue and Rockford's show tomorrow...

It's been hell of a month. Shutter on my camera broke, PSU died, and now this. :-)

Cool shots, saw the Zero at Air Expo at Flying Cloud field the previous week.

Sorry to hear your video card smoked. had the same issue about a year ago. replaced the card with
an upgrade and then computer smoked the mobo and a HD. Saved the new video card for my upgrade.
Have a 9800GX2 in storage if your interested.

Once again thanks Mates.

I have a new card on order, it should be here tomorrow, apparently newegg.com doesn't allow Saturday delivery. I appreciate the offer though!

I have loads of photos to go through. -Lucky me.
