Swiss Hornets through the pass @ 7365 ft
Well just a tad higher than were use to in Wales, another visit to Switzerland for the Live Fire Power demo high up in the Swiss Alps, great week out, Gaz and Viper were top company and the weather was just peachy, in fact it was too good made for some real hard photography, had quite a few hiccups especially in the afternoons with the sun full on in your face.
Just the Hornets for now F5's to follow
Still find in incredible that the live shells are firing over the top of you [X(]

Nice plane shots as always but WOW those last two scenic shots. I've seen painting that look like photos but hardly ever have seen photos that look like paintings. How did you get those neutral light values in the ridge tops and down in the valleys. I've seen people use a program to merge two or more separate photos taken at different exposures to balance things out usually indoor shots. How you got the light to wrap around those fence post I don't know!

As always...other worldly. Simply the best location, with the best equipment, of the best subject by an incredible artisan.
Thanks for posting.
Interesting to see that the Swiss hornets have the searchlight common to the Canadian variant.
I did not know that.
Again...super awesome stuff!

I hate to ask this because I don't want to take one bit away from you're awsomeness., but were the last two photos touched up colorwise or were these actually the color of the landscape? They are so surreal they almost look like they are slightly solarized.
Thanks,
Andy
