Yorkshire Airshow 2006 (long, many pics)

looking at the spitfires always makes my heart well up :cry:

my grandfather worked on them during the war..

Yeah, my Grandfather was with 91 Squadron at Biggen Hill during the Battle. Not sure what he did, although he wasn't a pilot. I think he is mentioned in Geoffrey Wellum's book a couple of times.

There's a Spitfire at Filton airfield near me - I love the noise that Rolls Royce Merlin engine makes.

Cheers,
Stephen

Awesome shots. A proper airshow is one of the things I've been meaning to do for years.

Super Pics, may not be technically stunning, but love the Heli pic

some nice pics - not bad prop blur - but really need to shoot @ 1/130-1/160 to get a decent circle

i find some shots are over compensated for contrast and others are really lacking..

over all a good set of pics

I tried some at that speed but they were all dreadful unfortunately. More practice needed on my part.

Still not got the hang of this photoshopping, I do have a better copy of the solo spitifre though where I've brought the shadows up so you can see the side.

Cheers, I was quite pleased with them.
