These were actually shot over 2 years ago, but have never been processed at all until now. For some reason at that stage I must have thought they were no good as I processed some from that day.

I kind of glad I kept these RAW images, and then by chance actually went back and looked at them again.

I must admit I only had another look because I was searching for a shot I took that day. I'll say they are not the best, but worth a second glance at least.

Must be tough to get shots of these in the air! I really like that last image! It would look good in a frame on the wall.
