I think you did a fine job, getting some very nice captures. You even got prop blur, which is not something a lot of people even think about.

I love the shots of the Spitfires - really brings to mind the Battle of Britain.

Thankfully my camera on auto was doing a good job of getting the props, I went in thinking I was going to have to play with settings but it all worked out smile

The Spits were a special BoB display, they had flak (not real obviously) and bombs going off down the runway before a couple of Hurri's and three Spits scrambled, was pretty cool. You could feel the shockwave coming off the bomb pyrotechnics which was awesome biggrin My GF's 7 year old son still managed to sleep through it somehow though eek

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Yep, he was getting ready to go home, stood and watched him get ready and then perform some fairly impressive (he wasn't a young fella) gymnastics to get into the pit before being escorted to the runway. I'll throw a photo of the entire plane up later.

Glad people are liking them smile

That looks like the Dr1 that stood on its nose a few weeks back so good to see it's ok.

Some great shots there and I love this one;
