Model Plane

[Tom W]

Saw some folks flying models today, so I stopped to take a few shots. Nothing fancy, but I got off a few shots of one of them. I was a little distance away so I made judicious use of cropping. Next time, I'm going right up to them and ask if they mind me shooting.

Anyway, here's a couple of shots.

In the first, the plane was climbing straight up. The "pilot" then held the plane in the air for several seconds, pointing straight upward. This was shot during the ascent:

Here's the same plane, doing a simple bank towards me:

I think I might have some fun shooting with these folks.

Nice captures. Those could not have been easy to do. Getting closer could be fun. Just have to convince them that that long white thing is not a SAM launcher. hehehe
