And while you're at it, next year can you please disguise that dreadful red and white radio mast as a pine tree. Thanks. :smile:

... and while you're about it, move the truck, hide the rusting airframe, get rid of the red and white mast ....... :whistle:

On the other hand, Dave, a judicious crop would solve your problem at a stroke ... or for finer control, there's always the clone tool ... either would be a lot less hassle and expense for the RIAT organisers.

You for real?

You spotters whinge at the smallest thing, don't you?

If I was RIAT I don't think I'd bother with an Airshow next year if this one wasn't good enough or you.

LOL All, I could Terry, I know this wasn't a good picture, I just used it for an example, but some of my better pics, where I have cropped in tight are ruined because of these green monstrositys, I plan to get there really early next year, that way I can avoid useless background clutter. :lol:

That enormous red arrow is much more distracting! :lol: Besides knowing this country I wouldn't be surprised if there was a hardcore group of portaloo spotters, that would be very upset if they disappeared. There's something for everyone at RIAT.

PS. I am not a portaloo spotter...

At least DBH listened to feedback from last year and put the portaloos in a long line, echoing RIATs of old and pleasing photographers wishing to get the classic 'line up' shot...

According to the Portaloo Appreciation and Spotting Society Fairford produced some outstanding logs and movements

Actually a lovely shot of some interesting and rare portaloos, completely ruined by an out-of-focus Agusta A109.

Besides, you've misspelt the word as 'camoflauge'. I was a bit upset initially as I misread it as 'camoflange' which, within a lavatorial context, is not something to be dwellt upon.

Thank heavens the image didn't also feature an EA-18G Growler.

In all the long weeks I have been visiting this forum I have never, never, heard or seen such drivel. I can only hope you are joking. Would you rather there were no loos or something? I know, let's ban all people apart from you so nothing ruins your photos. This is an airshow, not a photo show. What extraordinary ignorance. :snack:

As others say,with the photoshop technology you can easily get rid of unwanted collateral,you could have a very nice pic by simply photoshopping the Helicopter out....for me the contrast of the portaloos against the hanger,and the grace of the tower make a fantastic pic!
