I am a bit of an amateur photo person myself and I have to say they are very good, I like the Helicopter especially. What sort of camera did you use for these shots?

Could you tell me what Air force is the last "bird" attached to?

Great shots,very well done.I really like the one with the coloured smoke coming out of the tails of the planes and the helicopter one is great also.

I was using a Canon EOS20D & not too sure about the bird - it was a late entry!!!

A few more - hope you like them??

Really good shots there - looks like it was a great day out.

PS Theres also a thread on military photos in soc.military in case your interested.

Damnit, didn't know that was on. Heard something rumbling over Athlone this evening, was wondering what it was about alright. Great pics.

Great photos! What lense were you using? I was having a tough time with my 17-85mm, hope you dont mind me sticking up a few of mine, no point in starting a new thread!











These two Idiots both deserved to fall into the water!

Me or Rabbitinlights??

All my shots were taken without tripod.

Couple more to share with you

Scruff

great photos!
think it was 2 years ago i was in galway and forgot the show was on, wasn't in salthill but saw the red arrows in action, the amount of ground they cover in order to get into the right positions for the display area was unbeleivable! fantastic coordination.

rabbitinlights

all shots were taken without a Tripod, although Id say the IS was a great help with some of the sharper shots!

It was a 350D with a 17-85mm IS lense, not a great zoom length but the shots were clear enough to get decent crops from!

YeAh!

Really excellent photos! Was a great event i'd say!

mikeanywhere

Wasnt too bad. Been to much better events but as I said before, considering it was a free event you cant complain too much.

Agreed! Those are excellent. Wish I could learn how to take such simple ideas and make them look, well look as good as those!
