You are welcome Vic Aaron, I thought they were pretty classic. Chicken Dinner 5 cents!

That Chicken Dinner was a candy bar!

Yea finally an air show, it would fall on a bad weather week-end. Anyway here are some shots from the event, even with the rain it was fun. I threw in a shot of a rose with the plane in the back ground, let me know what you guys think I'm not sure if I like it. I kind of like the Rat Car.

 

[Shinpachi]

Excellent shots as always, Merv.
Thanks for sharing!

Great shot of the 108 in the air sir! That ROCKS! And the rose shot is excellent to. Your pan shots are spot on. I think I remember you saying you'd never be able to do that.

Great shots Merv. I particularly like the one of the Beech 18 airborne. It appears to have an open, enlarged door - was it dropping parachutists ?

Nice shots Merv!

Thanks Shinpachi greatly appreciated.

Aaron thank you for your kind remarks, I do remember saying that about panning I have been practicing. Sometimes I get my shudder speed to low, I try to stay about 1/160 or 1/250. I wasn't to sure about the rose shot, maybe I should have used a lower f stop to sharpen the plane more maybe f/11.

Airframes, yes they did do a parachute drop for the opening of the show.

Thanks Hugh, cheers.

Sunsets over Riverside, I was hoping that the clouds would stay around after the rain, a few did.

Really really nice shots, Merv!

Number 4 is excellent but number 3... wow wow wow!!!

You rocked that shot, my friend!

Thanks Dave I really appreciate it. I was trying different white balances and apertures, I am pretty happy with what came out

 

[Shinpachi]
