The Real Aeroplane Company Fly-in Day

Some shots from the Real Aeroplane Companies Fly-in Day and what a day it was, I didn't realise just how sunny it was 'till I got home and looked in the mirror; beetroot comes to mind.

Very good set of shots. Some good angles and I like the framing.

Nice set

Love no4, very nice angle and colour.

Thanks for the comments, nice to get a little feed back.

#3 really speaks to me. Nice series

#4+6 for me, and i agree gr8 framing - altho' i'd get rid of the emboss and go for another keyline

Love the first and the last ones. Do you have a frame action, and where did you get it? I wouldn't use it on every pic but it is cool.

Sorry for the late reply Eagle; I've been a little busy. No I don't have an Action as most of my pictures get cropped to certain degree so they are all differant sizes plus I like to try differant borders every time I post. It's easily done though. Just select the rectangular marque tool and draw a rectangle a little in from the edge, select inverse from the select menu or press control/ shift and "I". then select desaturate from the image/adjustments menu or control/shift and "U". Once you've desaturated inverse again to get back to where you started, you should still have a rectangle selected. Go to the edit menu and select "stroke" In the "Stroke" menu select colour and pick black, on a full sized shot I select 10 pixels wide but this will vary if you crop or if you have a camera like a D1s or 5d which have larger files. Click OK and deselect the marque rectangle, you then need to unlock the background shot by turning it in to a "layer" if you double click on the lock symbol in the layers pallet (the one in the blue box not the one on the menu bar) a "new layer" box will pop up, just click ok. Once you've done that the layer style options will be available to you by either selecting them in the Layers Menu or by click ing on what looks like a little "f" second in from the left at the botom of the Layers Pallet. Select "inner glow" from this menu, again on full size shot I use these settings. Blend mode "Normal" Opacity "46 %" I change the colour to Black from the default Yellow (it's default on my CS2 any way) Choke "43%" Size "32 px" every thing else I leave at default. Click OK and that's it.

While I'm on; here's a couple of variants of shot 7, the first is the uncropped version and the last is an even closer crop than the one previously posted. If you can crop this close with a 1DMkIIn; how good would this shot have been with a 1Ds, although with it's slower frame rate I might not have got the shot to start with

Hi busterboy, yes that's my ugly mush; tripod and little seat strapped to the back rack. A shame we didn't get to meet, I saw you taking the shot from up on the mound as I was leaving. It's a good shot, any chance of sending the original as I don't have any shots of me riding the bike. I was sat down near the Ice cream Van most of the day next to the bike but did have a couple of walk abouts, where's your shots of the show then ? Are you from this area or did you travel in from afar?

Hi Mick, I live just outside Harrogate and have a couple of full size shots of you I will gladly send on..

Now I know who you are I will introduce myself next time I see you.
