Air to Air Academy

Post by SuperGuppy »

I was lucky enough to attend the Air to Air Academy in Belgium recently (http://www.aviation-photocrew.com/index ... ge=academy) and here are some of the photos I took. Hope they are of interest.

I guessed so, cannot understand why there are not more comments, by far the best post on here.

Obvoiusly those who haven't experienced air to air shoots do not realise how difficult it is and do not appreciate what a good job you have done.

I do, well done.

Most welcome, I know how demanding and difficult it is, although very satisfying when you see what are usually unique shots, not captured by others.

It is certainly a different ball game to ground to air photography.

Having said that the skill of the pilots is of paramount importance both for safety and successful shooting.

Hm, I think I might have been your director on that flight :biggrin:

Nice pics, but I think that the colors look a bit... washed out or something (at least compared to the shots I see in my processing queue). Perhaps you have some more taken at better side of the "8"?
