Fantastic selection and I agree with the comments above - that first P-1 shot is an absolute gem. Terrific work.

It's a shame so many shots are clipped. Did you consider a smaller lens?

No i used my 300mm F2.8 as everyone goes for the same shot a wide distant flat side shot which i don't like a tight in close up adds depth to the shot and more detail too the aircraft.

Totally agree, a superb set of images, your framing is perfect on all of them (in my opinion), with great detail :clap:

Great set Kurt. Nice contrasty shots, a great record of the arrivals and some good stuff from the show day/s. I particularly like the F18 shots and the P1 with the trees included.

I am guessing that you were one of the sheffield lads standing on the mound at Rhymes campsite. I was with you, laughing at the German guy swearing. It will be a long time before I forget his reaction to the Vulcan! "What the s**t?! It's coming straight at us, f**k!!!

Nice shots but very tight crops my advice give some space

surprised to hear you were outside the show yet you still moaned about how crap the show was, you didn't really lose out much then does it give you the right to moan if you didn't pay for the show? :pinkwafer:

. I paid £15 to go on Ryhmes yes it's not the price of a ticket and if I would have bought a ticket to go in I would still have been disappointed by the flying display as there where only really a couple of good acts the rest is very much the same as every other UK show I will admit the static was good but not worth the price of a ticket.

Yes that's me the young one and that German Chap was so funny he made the show just about bearable haha.

A fine set Kurt - really like the Vulcan underside on departure and the P-1, as has been said, is a cracking photograph and the leaves certainly add something to it.

Not sure why anyone is making such a fuss about 'clipped' photos though - all the aircraft have plenty of breathing space in the frame and any crops are very clearly intentional, and not an uncommon style to see on this forum.
