Warbird DisplaysDiscuss DUXFORD Flying Legends 2007 in the World War II - Aviation forums; Very nice pics and stuff. I think I am going to have to go next year....
Very nice, Lee! I like your angles with the B-17. Are you using a UV, or any filter on the Bigma?
I am but Ive also got a sky light I tried both but can't see a difference to be honest Eric although the skylight is not so UV friendly but like you I cant afford to replace this lens in a hurry.
It would be good to see you there Adler I'll buy you a pint.
sorry about the over sizing on the earlier shots Im using new software and have just sussed out where I was going wrong
Im trying to group my pics a bit so this next lot are all Spitfires

Man oh man, I have got to get back over the pond to Duxford again. I forgot how great that show was. The first and third shots are really appealing, Lee, and great prop blur! Keep this up and I'll have to put you on staff at VG-photo!

As I'm not allowed to start or post new threads I hope no one minds if I put this in here. On this day (July 11th) 50 years ago the first three Spitfires joined Hurricane LF363 to form the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Although the Flight started on paper a couple of months previous it was not until this date that these aeroplanes were brought together in one place, Biggin Hill, and initially know as the Historic Aircraft Flight. Just thought you might be interested.
Cheers Eric for those remarks I still haven't got the hang of prop blur I was at 160th-200th. On some its good on others so so, I suppose its all down to RPM at the time of shooting anyway as you are being so complimentary heres a few shots of one of yours and my favs the wonderful (and this one was) DC3.
ps Sorry for the lack of sharpness guys I think pics 1, 3,4 & 5 are reasonably crisp

Reason: found another shot
Track outstanding shots ! especially enjoy the Mustangs. Hope you do not mind but sent Bud Anderson a shot # 4 down of the Mustangs to him for his comments. Old Crow was his bird of course in the earlier olive-drab-green scheme before the use of all silver.....will let ya know how he responds

Thanks for the remarks guys I still have some way to go before I can get anywhere near Erics pictures but I like having a goal to aim for.
Erich and the rest of you fellas as Usual I have no objection to you using my snaps I have not copyrighted them and dont intend to until I actually start taking shots I believe are worth it.

Some nice pix Track.....what camera?
Couldnt make Legends this year but going to Fairford this Saturday
You(or anybody else )going??
I'm using I believe the same kit as Eric CG.
A D50 Nikon & a Sigma 50-500 zoom I would have gone to Fairford but the missus only lets me out to play occasionally
These next few pics are of the old faithfull airmans friend and submariners nightmare the PBY if you want a 20th share in this one its available & will cost you £17500 + £150 a month the last of the set I thought could make a fair DT wallpaper
Very nice, Lee. That last one almost looks like it was shot air-to-air.
If I can make a suggestion, try to make your images of the same size. It does present a bit better. I know how to do it in photoshop, but not sure with others.
