At last, praise the lord.
Simply wonderfull.
And two planes... shot from a reailstic (from the ground) perspective. Brilliant.
You've saved the thread, kicked it back on track (hopefully demonstrating a thing or two million) and got a heap load of well deserved praise.
Don't that feel good.

That is a good picture Dutchman!

Thanks guy's,

Sometimes you have luck with some picture's and this is one. I made more than 200 picture's that day and only a few are good enough!

Luck, thats all you need.

Teus.

And the ability to know when you're looking at a pic worthy of posting here.

Nice shot!

Here's some more of the Sea Fury. It had an unfortunate accident today. On takeoff, the rubber from the left wheel came off. On the approach, the engine quit on him. Not too much damage, but it did chew up the bottom. The last one doesn't meet the guidelines, but I am just showing what happened!

Looks like the guy in the front right corner must have had a close call with a prop!

Unfortunately, yes. He lost several fingers (or parts of fingers). The plane slowly got moved back (from trying to start it) in the rope that was holding the tail. He accidentally left the throttle stick full and it came at him.

If scale is the case than you have some serious mutant grass there....

SDCrashmaster

Feel better now Tex?

You sound a little put off...as though we should somehow be more accepting of inadequacies. No one gets there feelings hurt. Everyone's a winner. Trophy's for all.

Happy to report that I don't see that happening here.

Besides, what's a surface guy doing posting criticisms in an air thread?

LOL, take it easy man....

I've been flying for years, happen to like cars too.

Hellcat pic is cool.

I've noticed some of you seem to be getting a bit off track and argumentitive. I thought we were discussing camera usage here and what settings were used for the shots that you take. That's the info I would like. Models are models, some good some bad, but it's about the use of the camera, thats what we need to know.

These look like "TOP GUN" quality aircraft. The weathering is beautiful. You've got talent!
The photos look good too. Great stuff.

SDCrashmaster

You're new aren't you?

Briefly (page 113) we were off on a discussion of bodies/lenses/settings. Which it seems, is where you started following along? Notice the title of the thread.
If you go back and review from the beginning, I'm sure that you'll come back next week with a different opinion of what this thread's about.
You can always ask the photographer about his settings in a particular photo that you admire.

As far as argumentative...it only gets that way when someone tries to criticize the premise and guidelines of this thread. You'll have those who get it, but don't have the skills or competence to compose a shot worthy of posting here. That makes them mad and they know no other way than to attack the superiority of the thread.

Then there are those who, after the guidelines have been posted at least 80 or so times, post pictures that are nowhere near what this thread is about. Then they're shocked at the rejection.
These individuals ususally draw an argumentative stance from the regulars here who are so very tired of people "not getting it". And it's not that people lack the skill to "get it". It's that they lack any "creative vision" to see beyond the bench in the garage. And when they give it a go, the inadequecies really show. They do end up getting their comeupance.

Glad to have you around.

I'm with John VH.
Hellcat shot is definitely a winner!
Nice,

Here's a few of my PCM 109 at the Castle event from last year. Photo credit goes to Ray Harris from California. Dont know what kind of camera he was using but the pics came out well!

I love those shots because they give the feel of being air-to-air shots which are so hard to capture from the ground. There are only a couple of seconds in a typical flight routine when this is possible. A typical level flyby will usually only net the photographer a couple of so-so shots showing the underside of the model. The only time you can get a "top" view is either as the model drops down into the flyby or as it exits at the end. That is only during curving flight.

Personally, shots of the bottom of a model do nothing for me -- even if that's how a real aircraft might look from the same vantage point. Of course a certain amount is just the luck of the draw regarding the setup of the field. Some fields are extremely photogenic. Others are hopeless. And of course there's not much chance of getting a "scale looking" ground shot of an EIII in the often desert-like landscapes of southern Cal or Arizona.
