Nice saturated colours

Nice, clean, crisp, sharp images with a good eye for clean, clutter-free backgrounds.

Well Done! Got more?

Besides what they said, nice prop blur, too!

Frank, I'd rather be able to make out the prop a little better, unless it is a turboprop. Wouldn't you? True, it is during takeoff, therefore, pretty good rpm, but I'd still like to be able to make out the prop with a little less blur. JMHO

Beautiful WA shot on #1!

Nice work truman. Do you have any more in a gallery somewhere?? Is this an annual event??

Nice captures, love the T-6 shot. Thought that you'd cloned out the prop initially until I looked a bit harder!

I agree with you that it would be nice to see prop a little better, but it's so difficult to get a full 360 degrees that I just can't bring myself to pick on it?
A little selective color in PP might bring out the tip a bit.

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated. Am away from home for a few days and will post a couple more when I get back.
cheers

This is just teasing! I'm waiting to see more. I like the prop blur in #2. It looks like an AT-6 turbojet!

Just remember that if you can't see the prop, your camera won't either.

Best blur comes from contrast (dark prop Vs lighter sky), from details (white prop tips or color bands) or from reflected light via correct angle of incidence (you @ front quarter with sun at opposite front quarter.)

Just some technical carp to consider...

Good point, Jay. Someone posted a fully blurred prop recently, think it was a TP, but the "disk" was silver due to sun reflection. To me, that's a good TP shot due to the implied speed. Big radials need much slower and nice to see a little prop outline. I think that shot I'm talking about might have been yours, Jay? Not sure. TP=Turboprop

Might have been the Kodiak on floats from Oshkosh?

No, but nice shot. I found it in a thread arguing just this point that I wasn't in on. I think it might have been a Turbo Otter, but haven't found it yet. I don't think there were any stripes on it, just heavy silver/chrome reflection from the sun. Very distinct.
