Ah, Corsair it was. Great Navy attack planes. Cool illustration of progress.

Wow! They appear uncomfortably close! Great shot! Nice finish.

Nice demonstration of progress...wish the arrangement was a bit diifferent, more spread out to see both planes better.

Great photo. Besides the fact that I'm a big aircraft fan, I think this fits the challenge really well.
That's a Grumman Hellcat right? And an F-18. Cool.

No offense but I have never understood what people get out of going to these airshows and taking photographs, the subject just doesn´t do anything for me. Well enough about that. Photographically speaking, this is not bad at all, just not really all that fond of the composition, not bad really but kindof dull and centered, nothing but dead smack in the middle of the frame. Then also I always think images that use too fast shutterspeeds at motorraces and airshows make the subjects seem a bit static. I appreciate the fact that you have a very slight amount of motion blur on the propeller but just not enough for me, wish they were more blurred but at the same time the planes were tack sharp. Think I saw somewhere that an optimal shutterspeed for propeller airplanes were somewhere between 1/100-1/200? Anyway, nuff ranting, not a bad shot, just wanted to explain why I couldn´t give this more than a 5 wich means average for me.

A little tighter cropping would be nice.

Ok, now we're talking...Aviation Photography! Definately shows progress.

I love how the angle makes it look like they're nearly attached. Good job getting the prop nearly stopped!

good aviation entry...great contrast in plane types, well composed, too.

cool shot
07/13/2006 10:14:01 AM
Very cool. Obviously not easy to set up the shot but with some sky between the planes it would have worked better.

As long as the Super Hornet doesn't throttle up...man that's close. Nice shot.
07/13/2006 07:46:54 AM
awesome !
07/13/2006 07:32:16 AM
wow, they are close...perhaps a tighter crop would have made this more dramatic

nicely done!!

Composition here really isn't doing much for me, I'm not trying to be too much of a "stickler" here cause I can't imagine capturing these beauties was easy. With that said, THOSE PLANES are AWESOME! I'm a sucker for WWII stuff and that Corsair makes this shot for me.
