Challenge: Centered Composition III (Basic Editing)
Camera: Nikon D80
Lens: Sigma 50-150mm F/2.8 EX APO DG HSM for Canon
Location: RAF Kirton Lindsey
Date: Apr 2, 2008
Galleries: Military
Date Uploaded: Apr 4, 2008

 Taken during a practice display prior to the start of the new season.

Edited by RAW conversion, then cropping square, levels, curves, brightness/contrast and exposure layers to make the sky look (sort of) natural...

This shoot gave me a lot of shaken and blury images :( This is probably the best of them. Shot was taken with the lens as listed plus Sigma's 2x converter and a monopod.

Nice! A tighter crop would really make the picture pop but I understand given the challenge!

This is a great shot but it doesn't feel centred to me. I see the subject as the aircraft and their trails. Together these are in the top right of the frame.

if you had cropped off about 10 % at right, this would have been centered. otherwise good shot.
