A good event attended by thousands of people. Some shots with the K5.

Number 2 was shot using a fish-eye/wide-angle??.. It looks as though the nose cone's been bent towards the left!

The final pic would have looked more dramatic if you'd caught the shot with the afterburners switched on in the engines, I think.

My fave?.. Number 1!!... A bright, colourful image.

First and last are my favourites
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Excellent set. Sneaked under the radar with the K-30 announcement

Yes, No. 2 was with the 10-17mm as was No. 4. I got a good few shots of afterburners but not all with the K5 as the 55-300mm was a little slow on focus and tracking. This is one of the K5 shots, odd that the lower right is blurred more than the top left. Maybe after burner heat haze or vapour haze from the wings?




Comments appreciated.

A great set I love the bright colors and they are very nicely composed and from some great angles.

One or two odd snaps I have taken.

Using "spoilers" for roll control will do that. Ailerons roll the plane around the longitudinal axis, but "spoilers" will only "drop" the wing on which they are deployed. Some fighters use "spoilers" for roll control because they sometimes have a faster roll rate than ailerons, and no adverse yaw.
