RIAT - A Different Take

[HuwJHopkins]

Here's a quick few photographs from this years RIAT with my week old 50D. I've tried to post something a bit different from others as I can't really compete with the standards of most photographers on here. I know they won't be to everyones tastes, if they are not, then I apologise!













A huge thanks once again to everyone who I met over the course of the week and made for great company!

Cheers, Huw

Great set and a great idea to rework them in b/w;
the Georgia AG and the Mirage-head on are my favs

cheers

The Mirage is really special - love it.

[Jamie]

A nice set, always good to see different views. I really like the third shot, excuse my ignorance for not knowing know what it is. Still a nice range of tones and contrast.
Cheers, Jamie.

Really like em good to see something different spent about 15 years shooting nothing but B/W

[Lomcevak26]

Overall mate not to my tastes, but appreciate you've done something completely different and done it extremely well. Gripen's the one for me: lighting and composition are perfect.

Very nice Huw.

Love to B52 shot though their all very good

Very nice. The Mirage and Gripen gets my vote. I like the contrast and overall processing!

btw, I fail to see a B52 in this set!?

[Mr Flibble]

I don't think you should be apologising for these, Huw - I like the different take.

The head on Mirage and light/shadow on the Georgia Air Guard Herc are brilliant.

A nice twist to what you would expect from RIAT, good work!

[Rover75]

Great set...I like them all.

[HuwJHopkins]

Thanks all for the kind comments, they really are appreciated!

Jamie - Its a Hercules, quite an obscure viewpoint I know.

Here's a B-52 just so lozza can say he likes it!


Cheers, Huw

[Bealie]

Totally agree, lovely image.

[Seamus]

Great set Huw, wonderfully atmospheric

[cometman88]

Amazing collection of images Huw...love the first shot beautifull sky.well done.

[Dan380]

Huw, these are not to my tastes. I am deeply dissapointed that you have posted these knowing full well they would upset me.

I will also be writing a strongly worded letter to Canon, informing them that they have supplied you with a camera which cannot shoot in colour.

[riatfuels]

Love them ... very artistic!!

[B2 Spirit]

like them yes...... M2000 for me.

[PeterR]

All of them are stunners, the NATO Sentry shot is pretty special as is the Mirage 2000!

[HuwJHopkins]

Thanks for the feedback chaps! I'm very glad people have enjoyed them, didn't expect that.

Does this mean you'll be too busy crying to go to FIA on Friday then?

[MartinNeedham]

The Mirage is really special - love it.

Totally agree, lovely image.

+1, Gripen NG shot rocks my Casbah too.

[PMN]

The first one does it for me! Superb composition and really nice contrast. I'm wondering whether the last one in that first post might have looked slightly more balanced had all the vertical stabiliser been left in the shot rather than that little bit get cropped out? Either way, always a pleasure to view your work and see how you approach things. Thanks for sharing!
