Fantastic photos Col, thank you so much for sharing! I've seen several videos of the F-35 display. Amazing, but I'd love to see it in person! You'll have plenty of time , it's going to be around for while  . The RAAF display is excellent, better than what I saw in the US in 2017. That's why I ditched nearly all of my F-35 photos. The sky was so dark on the Saturday that it was hard to get a decent image that doesn't nead a heap of Post processing . Colin's are very good especially considering the conditions. I seen a few others that are quite dynamic but they have clearly had a lot of extra photoshop help as the light in them doesn't look like what I remember it  If anyone is interested I'm slowly loading my images here |

The lighting was challenging, especially as the day went on. I do have quite a few photos taken on the Saturday that are not "keepers" as they were too dark, or lighting was from wrong angle, so a bit of culling to occur when I get the time. Realistically, most of the good photos I put down to a good camera body with high megapixel sensor with relatively good light sensitivity combined with 'big' glass to capture as much of the light to the sensor as possible. I don't have Photoshop, only the native preview/photo application on my iMac - so it is often more cropping and resizing so as not to be oversized for internet access or forum posts. Special Edition T-Shirt, my ideas have progressed to Version 2. Front.  Tshirt Front V2 by Colin Ford, on Flickr Back.

Decisions supposedly in next 18 months to 2 years - probably will flow on from the Defence Review currently running. |
