Great shots.
Where were you stood.
We stayed until 6.30, got soaking wet, but saw the most amazing departing take-off from the Typhoon, it almost went up vertical.
Thanks for posting.

Err – not quite. The claim about being the first to use coloured smoke is out of date by 4 years.

I used coloured smoke in my display in 2003 in a Yak52…. and the last time I looked, a Yak52 is definitely a piston engined aircraft…..

Trust you’ll tell Guinot this, and their commentator who is making a mis-claimer about this fact!

Picture below, and you can see the original on the website: http://yakdisplay.com/gallery_photo2.shtml

If i were you, id be sending a few emails.:mad:

Hi Steve, love the first shot.
Regarding metering – on the rear of you camera, will be a button that will change the metering, you will probably have 3 types, spot, center weighted and evaluative.
Spot uses a few areas over the scene and then makes a calculation to determine the correct exposure.
Center takes a reading from the center of the image area, great for high contrast scenes.
Evaluative takes a general readig from all over the scene and makes an exposure accordingly.
All of these fail alot of the time. Thr real secret is to use exposure compensation, push it about 2/3 of a stop, this may help.

Hi Richard.
Others might do different, but the way i crop images is as follows,
Set crop size to 15x10in @ 300ppi, this is the largest print i am likely to have done.
Try to crop the image so the plane has a little room to “fly” into.
Crop static shots so the horizon is horizontal, obvious, i know but easily overlooked.
Once saved, if the image is going to be put on a website, go to image dimensions and change the size by the ppi, i generally use 750 or 800 wide, then apply and save for web. This means the picture will be viewed at actual pixels.
You may well be doing all this already, so sorry if ive gone over old ground.

Thanks guys,
by the comments that were coming over the scanner, it sounds like the Yak 3’s display was well received. The 1st display was good, but, the 2nd was fantastic, lovely and tight.

Those are stunning pictures Chox, love the sparkle on 4, and the 3 wing positions on the last best, but all are crackers.
