The only suggestion that I would have for improvement is maybe being on the other side of the planes as there are shadows in the direction shot. However, it is very minor and I would be extremely proud if those were my images!! Canon 7D, 24-105L, 100-400L, Tokina 11-16, 430 ex II

If I were to nit-pick, the only suggestion I can muster would be to work the clouds a bit more in image 3 to bring out a bit more depth. Other than that, outstanding work!

Nikon 17-55 f/2.8, they're probably all taken at 17mm. Heh, your friends come out of the wood work when you take shots like this. Six Fifty B wrote in post #14350907 Improvements?, these shots are unreal.More please. Thanks, really appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately that's it. Had to share the airplanes porkphoto wrote in post #14351321 At first I thought they were paintings...I had to look twice. What great shots...! I've heard that a lot; along with "those are fake". The sun was coming through the light clouds for some amazing diffused lighting onto a flat paint job - certainly makes it look fake or painted. That and they couldn't believe I shot a Lightning in the air. ...then I showed them the 195 photoship, us going over the numbers at 200', and orbiting waiting for the show. The Shinny

we went up and the P-38/P-40 hit three different photoships for ~3 orbits each. I did bang off ~400 shots in 3+ orbits; shooting 1/20th at 17mm from one airplane that's moving of two other airplanes that are independently moving doesn't usually lead to a high success rate
