World War 1 aircraft at Stowe Maris Air Show - Sept 2016

[StanEastwood]

Maybe a little late for these but as a recent new member I am having to try to catch up with a lot of good 'stuff'.

I took these at Stowe Maris on a very overcast day so a lot of the shots on Flickr have either blown or no sky. Still, some are not too bad.

The shots in the air were with a Canon 5D MkIII along with a 100mm-400mm L IS USM MkI

the star of the show is number 1 & 3 its just a shame you've not got any movement in the props on 3 - maybe some PS playing?

A very good set overall, each one very different with pros and cons, 1 is too tight in the frame overall and has a nearly static prop but is nice and sharp bearing in mind the poor light, 2 has got beautiful light and is well sharp enough to be cropped to make it so it's not in the middle of the frame, prop again is too static, 3 would be good apart from the static props, 4 is the pick of the bunch for me, lovely and sharp, nice angle too, prop has enough to show movement, only problem is that it's flying out of the frame, with aircraft always leave more room at the front than the back, 'room to fly into' is the saying, (exception to that rule is if aircraft are trailing smoke) 5 is really nice too, an interesting angle and good prop blur, sadly again flying out of the frame.

I hope you don't mind the critique, if you have some room around on the originals, have a go at recropping and post them again.

Many thanks for the comments. Will look at doing something about the 'static' props and reposition the singles to give more room to exit. Thanks for the assistance. Believe it or not but that set was my first airshow and I'm 67.

Cheers,
