Flying Birds at PLAB - Aggressive PP

smallaperture · 9th September 2006

With visits on both Sat and Sun and out of 1000 odd shots taken, I managed to squeeze a few more mediocre pix to share. This time, with more aggressive PP to salvage some of those which I thought CMI. This is a week late liao.

I also understand that this ain't an annual show nor is it a biennial event. Seems that it is ad-hoc. So, all the more must fish out more pix out of the lot.

Belly of the bird in evening light

Red hot Backburner - this is almost a 100% crop

2 x F16s in formation in the final countdown

2x F5E in a final flypass

Taken with Sg100-300F4 mounted on D200 handheld. EXIF intact.

And here is the star of the show, the fighter jet pilot - he looks every inch a pilot.

And I look every millimetre a geek/nerd holding a "phallic symbol" lens trying to shoot such an event.

these two jets are F5Es, not F16s
