ohh my god I was going to post some until I saw these pages and now I am ashamed STUPID 75-300

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

No need to be ashamed of anything....post them

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Nothing exciting here, and only 1 shot, I deleted all of my airshow pictures because I was that dissapointed with them





**EDIT FOUND SOME**

CincyShooter - That F117 is amazing! I really like it.

I was there the day he died In Dayton, Ohio...very sad Day

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Cincy
I was saddened to see the video online of the fatal mishap. He really was quite the showman ! Here is another from that day in 2006. Johnathan

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Here's three from a recent visit to the USS Ronald Reagan...

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Love all three John but the first one of the Super Bug coming aboard is really special. I hope you have a big ol' 30x20 of that!

Were you the one who (on the "Who Are We" thread) mentioned that you write for an aviation publication? Can I ask which one?

Re: Your Best 3 Avaiton Shots
 

The colors and focus on these pics are incredible!

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

FANTASTIC! I wonder if the first one would benefit from some very light tonemapping....

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Its been several weeks since my last three :)

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I love that second one, spectre!

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Thank you!

Right place, right time, and right amount of moisture in the air :)

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

WOW!

There are a lot of impressive photos in this thread.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I don't know if I mentioned that or not on that thread... At my age I'm lucky I can remember which thread I'm reading from one minute to the next. :rolleyes:

I'm a contract writer and photographer for Airport Journals. It's a monthly publication with an emphasis on general and business aviation. Here's a link to my recent article and photos on San Diego's Fleet Week celebration.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Hard to say... I really know nothing about tonemapping.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I rarely post in here but I found a disc of photos that were taken on one of my deployments on the carrier. Don't mind any dust and such because they were taken on film and scanned.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Thank you for sharing the great photos and doubly thank you for your service!!

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I'm new to the forum so I thought I would make my first contribution to this thread since I'm directly involved with aviation. I also have these photo's from the airshow that happens every year here. I have a good perspective since I'm on the flightline. I had to fireguard for the Geico Skytypers as well as some other performers. I also got to launch out a P-51 which was definitely interesting. Also I'm throwing a picture from my Las Vegas TDY when I flew on a KC-10.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Welcome to POTN....I like your set you put here. But these two are just awsome.....well, the KC-10 because there is a F22, but the B17 cause its my favorite plane. ;)

Thanks for sharing....and post some more. :lol:

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

These shots are fabulous! Pretty neat that the jets create their own bokeh.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Wonderful pictures. Thank you for posting and thanks for your service.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Thanks for the comments guys. You can check out the rest of them here : Link if you want

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

This one makes me wonder if one too many folks jumped?

What's the backstory here and why is the twin in the background in such a hard dive (or is it just the camera angle that makes it look like it's diving?)

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

In the skydiving world it is comon for the plane to beat the divers to the ground. Major skydive companys will do hundreds of tandem jumps per day. When the last tadem is out the plane heads for the ground where there is another full load of jumpers waiting.


EVOL

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I had no idea that they did this in such an aggressive manner.

Guess it's a good thing that I always give the jump symbol a very wide berth when I see it on a sectional chart.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I love this shot!! Only a couple of planes I like better than the A-1

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

My sentiments exactly. Amazing to think that one got a Mig-15 kill :lol:

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Fukken Stunning everyone!

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Amazing Amazing stuff... Consider yourself lucky, twas always my dream to see, at dusk, a tomcat trap. Oh well, can't win them all.

Great photos.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Oh for the love of god, this is a beautiful shot. I would love to see it in either B&W or an aged look. Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Sweet shot Ryan REALLY SWEET !!!!!!!

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I will give that a go tomorrow :)

Glad to see everyone likes that one.:D

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

Can't wait to see it. Thanks.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

This is so Jerry Bruckheimer.... :D

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

My father took this shot on the Stearman's first flight. About 10 years ago...I was 11 years old. Still my favorite shot, ever. this particular image quality is bad...because it's a scan of the 8x10. I'll see if I can find my shots.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots

I hope Coulter doesnt mind, but I thought the same thing, and gave it a shot

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

No I don't mind:) My computer is having problems so I haven't had time to do it myself. Looks awesome:D

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I'd say on a 10 scale I'm about a 3.5 when it comes to PP'ing, so I appreciate the compliment! lol.

Re: Your Best 3 Aviaton Shots
 

I'm working on my aviation action shots. None are really great. This is my favorite aviation related shot I have.
