Thanks for sharing.

#4 is well done, vibrant, and crisp.

Miss Velma taking off is very well done pan.

Not sure if you were shooting manual or automatic settings, but remember to slow your shutter speed down for prop blur.

I shoot manually with shutter speed set to 1/250 for take off, 1/320 for in flight, and down to 1/160 for landings.
The problem is that with perfect profil shots I should have gone at lower speed but a 500mm lens there's a high risk to waiste the shots

Finaly on Sunday the sun decided to come...












































Many more to come...

More great shots. It looks like an extraordinary show!

For me, I think your shutter speed is just about right, for shooting from the ground. Your in-flight shots don't have full discs, but still have enough blurring to show the engine is running. I've seen shots with lower shutter speeds, and most of them seem to have a sharp area and a less-sharp area, and I think that's because the shots are taken from a fixed point and panning as the plane flies by, causing some areas to have slightly more motion than others.

I took what I thought was a great shot a few years ago, of two prop planes flying in formation, and I was trying to get as much prop blur as possible. The two planes were nearly next to each other and in a bank, and the placement of them in the frame was just about perfect, with one slightly closer and below the other. It turned out that I did get some great prop blur, but apparently I was tracking the farthest plane, as it was nice and sharp, but the closer plane was blurred because it was moving at a different rate relative to me as I panned. I decided then that I'd rather have more of the planes be sharp with less prop blur than the other way around.

Some wonderful shots of some wonderful stuff. Thanks for sharing. I believe they were locking people out of the place on one of the days because that many spectators turned up?

Amazing shots

Let's continue....
































Now I'll post the pictures in the order I post-process them, too much photos to keep chronological order...






There was also some jets the Eurofighter on saturday with a cloudy sky






And the belgian F-16 solo-display












more to come....

More great pictures! I really like the look of the Typhoon, but seeing the shots of the F-16 next to it convinced me that I like the Falcon over the Typhoon, from an aesthetic viewpoint.

Awesome pictures Tromplamort.
