Thanks for the comments everyone, it’s always appreciated, and especially the constructive critisism from Skybert.

I’ve ‘toned’ these down considerably from my last set, of the practise and auths week at Old Warden, but i think I know where you’re coming from Skybert.

I use Canon’s DPP, and process from RAW. Very little saturation was applied (+1) but I usually apply one of the programs settings of landscape or portrait (colour / brightness, not orientation!) adjustment, and then adjust the white balance for correctness.

I’ve tried to ensure the whites are accurate, followed by the colours we know, such as the roundels and camoflage etc. Also, the blue sky, which was present from the outset in nearly all the images without any adjustment, taking into account aircrafts position (low cloud north) and altitude.

I may have another play later, concentrating on the contrast and brightness, so thanks again for your thoughts.

Cheers,

Kev.

Part two, my final offering of the Pageant:

First time I’ve seen the Anson up, and a very spirited display it gave too!

And finally, another first, seeing the Sea Hurricane fly
