thx for sharing aeronut. Anyone else happened to have aSLR at hand?

Hi Kev
Wonderful pics! must have been a special event to attend..

I like the first rolling Spit shot and that last one of the Mustang most. Well balanced pictures!

In general I can appreciate the colour enhancements you seem to do, if i am not mistaken, though you might consider to hold back on it just a little more than you did. That is just my personal taste, since i am no expert at all.:cool:

Same is for my tatse of contrast, a little less contrast or brightness, might reveal that much more on the darker sections in your compositions without the pic going flat or bland.

again, great shots!

There most certainly are shock waves on both pipes.

The flame colour does indicate a different temperature of the top engine. My guess would be that the top engine has a higher jetpipe temp as the flame is whiter. Could be be a difference in turbine rpm or turbine pressure as result of different engine settings. I guess we need a expert on this one.. I’m sure there’s a Frightning engine buff around here somewhere:)

ouaaaaaaaaaaaaa:)

Stunning and up close and personal imaging!..
great!

As usual Nick,
Excellent use of panning skills, giving crisp and razorsharp pics:)

Indeed a missed opportunity to offer physically challenged enthusiasts a good spot to grab a good shot.:mad:

I was lucky, as I found a spot on the extreme leftside of the flightline close to the dual spit at the front of the barriergate that was left miraculously untaken. :)….

…..Miraculously until installed myself all happy and feeling lucky and found out i was sitting behind the trash bag hanging from the barriergate 😮

Luckily the cold weather and the rain had prevented the bag from being overstuffed and it did not smell that much…:D
