Re: B-1Bs RAF Fairford Wednesday 14th June

I agree with everyone else; they're all great! My fave is number two, because of the wing condensation, the exhaust heat shimmer and the burners. Really nice work. :trophy:

Re: Italian Air Force 100th Anniversary Airshow 2023

… and the AM’s YouTube channel which I’m watching right now from Australia.

The weather looks perfect, the ‘planes on display (static and flying) are amazing and everything seems to be running smoothly.

Wow! How I wish that I were attending... I echo your your wishes to those who are going. Cannot wait to see their images.

Thanks for the further info. Whilst it will not be as good as being there, it'll be the next best thing.

Did someone mention that the event was being televised by one of the RAI TV channels? I've quickly checked through this thread and cannot find any mention of it. I'd appreciate a reply 'cause Rome is a little too far from the former penal colony to justify a weekend outing to this airshow. Thanks to...

Re: Keeping Raw/DNG files

Like Brian, has mentioned, PureRAW3 spits out >150MB TIF from a 35MB RAW file. I have been keeping both (I'm lazy) but this will soon result in a bulging external SSD. In future, I will save only the RAW file. If my processing technique improves and/or I buy a more capable photo processing programme...

...EXIF now enabled... Ta. At the fast shutter speeds that you have used in this series of images, you should obtain quite sharp images. If any of your images taken at these settings are not as sharp as you'd like, it's likely that your camera's focusing ability is lacking, or you have heavily crop...

They're all very nice, Sam! I like the T-2 images, particularly No. 3. It's a knockout!

Please excuse my ignorance; were you air-to-air with the T-2s, or did you shoot from the ground? TIA.

An 8 hour flying display for Italian assets; an air parade which I assume is a stream of Italian assets in formation; frecce and musical entertainment. I really don't know what else they could do? As for Italians, celebrate their Italianness. Bellisimo. +1 I'd love to attend! The planes, the weathe...

Nice bunch of images, I like the two Condor beach towels. There cannot be too many A340s remaining in service. Thankfully, I've recently read that LH are returning quite a few to service.
