Yeah good eye Sundevl9...I noticed that after I processed them. I was too lazy to re-do it after all of them were processed. Then, I would have had to reupload them in proper order again to flickr - talk about pain in the ass. Canon 1DX & 5D Classic | Manfrotto 3021 & 3249 Pods w/ 488RC2 | Speedlite 600EX-RT & 430EX

The place is a nightmare with background clutter. It's really hard to get the images you want even with your apeture wide open. If you notice - in the F4 Phantom image I actually darkened the F105 behind it. Such beautiful aircraft, yet it's murder to try and get good shots in there.

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking about the clutter, but you're absolutely right of course! I did notice how well the F4 came out. It's a favorite of mine. Great work! Graham
