Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Are you shooting digital or film? And what lens did you shoot the Saber and p51 with? Sharp detail, beautiful lighting conditions!
Shooting here in Florida is very hit-n-miss. Especially in the mid day humidity! Everything gets soft and hazy unless you can almost touch it!
I’m gearing up for the big show at MacDill in March. hopefully the weather will cooperate.
Thanks, Chris. All the photos were shot with a Canon 20D digital camera and Canon 100-400mm image stabilized lens.
