I only nipped out for a coffee

I nipped out to my local biker café (Squires) today for a frothy coffee and a pasty, there's a small aerodrome near by and people are used to seeing light aircraft flying about. Today for a change this guy flew over and started doing some aerobatics, he (or she) was quite a distance away and these shots were taken at 400mm hand held and are quite heavily cropped so please forgive the quality.

No.2 is the money shot
Nice capture

would have been nicer if he had smokes on!
nice shots nonetheless

ncie pics but would really gain a lot by cropping so plane is not centered. If image editing was turned on, would recrop to get your opinion

Image Editing is not turned on for a reason, have you seen the abominations people put on of others shots. "I hope you don't mind but I've had a go at your photo" is the usual line, it should read "hope you don't mind but I've made a real mess of your shot". As on this occasion these are only chance snap shots I give you my full permission to do as you please with them.

Nice shots, & I wouldn't be unhappy with that quality?

Contradiction in terms?

There's something that bothers me about these shots.... erm.. ah yes! It's the blue sky. You say you are from Yorkshire.... I don't believe you

You comments in post #5 made me laugh. What bugs me most is the 'you did this wrong, here let me do it right for you' crowd!

(PS #2 is the one for me to!)

beautiful shots . lovely colour
in the second shot the plane looks almost like a large flying moth
(imagination working overtime again)

Nice shoots!!
