Frecce Tricolori - Lignano Seafront, Italy

Post by p2philip »

Hi again guys, :smile:

Already some weeks back (Aug 9th) the Frecce put on a fantastic display above the sea in Lignano, which
actually is not far away from their homebase Rivolto. I was on vacation nearby and went there to get
some shots. The show was great as usual, I have never seen them so close to the crowd before.
Unfortunately photography was hard for me despite the perfect light condition since my lens decided
to quit working properly just before the show started. :mad: Also the smoke was intense as always when
the Italians display so some pics turned out quite foggy. I got some photos anyway even
if they did not turn out the way I expected I hope you enjoy.

C+C welcome of course!

Bad shots? Go slap yourself!

The third shot from the end is nothing short than superb!

Some fantastic shots there. Can't believe it's been 9 years since I last saw the Frecce! :shock: :sad:

And another vote for the head-on Frecce shot. Pelican looks nice too!

Really good set of pictures there. The first is very nice and I agree with others in saying that the third from last Frecce head on is fantastic! :clap:

Good stuff,

Any chance of a closer crop of the guy under the Pelican in front of the flag?

Is it me?, but at first glance he appears to be some sort of superhero in an orange suit !

The head on(ish) is certainly nice. Wonder who missed the "smoke on go" call though...

Thanks for all the comments. Interesting you picked the head on shot as a favorite, since I am not really amazed by it. Anyway,
thanks again. Unfortunately no close-up of the chopper :-(

Greetings,
Philip
