Just a couple of shots to start off my thread. These are some static shots with some experimental processing. Don't be afraid to tell me what you think.:D

Liking the second better than the first. Would probably make a killer metallic print.

(Some major dust bunnies on the sensor though... They become much more apparent when you crank up the contrast as you have here...)

I am going to do a metallic of both, but only after I touch up the bunnies.:lol:

I shot them with my new (Used) 5D and have not received my sensor cleaning kit yet. The heal tool does a fair job but I can still see a difference.

Thanks for the critique guys.

You certainly took full advantage of your "all access" experience.

The shot under FA's tail is super!

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I must be doing something right.:lol:

I was very lucky to have my access and I treated it with respect. If I wanted to go somewhere or do something I asked and everyone was great. After a while they would approach me and ask if I wanted to go with them so I could get a "Good Shot". I ended up on a roof of a hanger for part of the airshow on the cloudy day. Unfortunately the good aircraft were grounded.

Thanks

I'd give vital parts of my anatomy to get that kind of an invite...

Well Done by You...

Thanks. Some of the fruits of my labor are starting to pay off. This was the result of a couple of years of freebies from time to time as well as an old friend of 7 years. And I can tell you it was definitely worth it. By next week I will have the full video of the ride in Fat Albert on Youtube.
