I took these pictures from my house yesterday and today with my canon rebel and my nifty-250. Let me know what you think.

Yea I guess I should have mentioned that I live on base. We probably had the best seats on base right outside our front door.

Literally 20 seconds in Photoshops shadow /highlight to bring out detail in the shadows, athlete1's edit seems to have gone the other way; losing nearly all the shadow detail. A bit of a halo around the fuselage but that could be got rid of with a little more time.

Looks good. Man I have a lot to learn not only with photography but with the PP as well.... The PP part I had no idea was such a big part of photography.

At least you didn't have to fight the traffic to get off the base!! :D

Thats why I usually leave the show just prior to the final act (Thunderbirds) ended. That way you can get out a little easier.

I like the angle on the TBird! Living on base has its pluses!
