Nice shots there Martin I see you got the Sea Vixen and Skyraider shot I like the bit when the Sea Vixen pulled away 😎 Do you know who flying the Sea Vixen this year?

Thanks for the kind comments guys, As to the white balance really the whole day was swapping and testing settings and ended up using 2 different white balances Cloud and Sunny I am not to certain what gave the greenish look, Worse still it does not show up as well on my monitor as it does on my friends.

The Hunter shot was nearly a missed shot there was a lot more sky behind it until I cropped it too, but the nose was in exactly the same place, So almost a wasted shot.
Planning a solo trip to legend tommorow and will be trying for decent prop blur there. Hope the weather be ok.

Super pictures, 🙂 wish my first ones came out that good, best help I ever had was someone told me to leave some space in front of the aircraft for it to fly into or taxi into if that makes sense on your pics, makes it look better to the eye, helps give it a sense of movement…….. you have done it on most of them naturally, but the last hunter with the space behind it and none in front would look better composition wise with the space in front and not behind if that makes sense.

You have some nice pictures, but as Gary says look at your settings. 🙂

Hi Martin,

A great first outing, but check your White Balance setting as there appears to be a greenish tint to some of the pictures. with my Nikons, I always leave it on the cloudy setting for all outside photos. otherwise keep up the good work.

Septic.

A few more.
