Hey Guys
I have a series of photos from the Raf Red Arrows 2010 display and this is first
In case you are not aware the Red Arrows had an accident eariler in the year when 2 aircraft collided mid practise display in the Med, in which 2 aircraft were written off and one involved an ejection. As such one pilot is sitting the season out due to injuries he sustained. Because of this the display season started a couple of months late as they had to train a replacement.
This move is pretty self explanatory. Technically I found this exceptionally difficult, its a good ol crop around 50% which unfortunately shows abit in this one I think. Trying to get the colors out on the red arrows on a sunny day is difficult as well.
D2x
70-200
1.7x Tc @340
F6.3
1/640
ISO 200
+1 + 1/3 Ev
C&C welcome -- I really like the timing of the shot, the action it captures and I think it really highlights how close these pilots do in fact fly, at points in the display the aircraft are less then 4ft apart (something i will show ya tomorrow ;) )
