Cable Airshow- January 8-9, 2011

[evangilder]

For the first time in 5 years of going to the Cable show, the weather was pretty crappy. It was cool and cloudy all day on Saturday, and even colder on Sunday until about 1 PM. The sun finally came out and brought some cool lighting. Here are some samples:

As always Eric, exceptional, exceptional. I really like the B-25 shot and the last one with the three Stearman and the lead craft I'm not sure of.

Thanks Aaron. The lead ship is a Ryan PT-22 Recruit.

Great shots, as usual, Eric...

making me jealous as I look outside at the snow our coldest day of the year at 20f or -8c

Again great shots Eric, another show I missed

Riverside is coming up in March. Hopefully there will be less wind this year.

How did I miss this one. Great shots as usual Eric. Another couple of shows like that and you might just be ready to shoot a British airshow

Been there, done that, Gnomey! Two years at Mildenhall Air Fete were the toughest lighting conditions to shoot in. I was beginning to feel deja-va with this one.

 

[Gnomey]

Yeah, know the feeling. 2/3's of the time I've been to an airshow here, it has either rained or been really low cloud. Only had one sunny show so far so it does make a challenge but get it right and the shots can come out really great with some interesting lighting.

You made the low overcast work well for that shot, but I prefer bluer skies, as I am sure you do.

 

[Geedee]

Great...now I feel depressed...again !.

Havent looked at your site to catch up on the rest of the shots, but those are some beauts on this thread. Love that '25 shot

Of course but that is still one of my favourite aircraft shots I've taken. Blue skies make life so much easier though as I'm sure you know.
