Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I was incredibly lucky recently and was able to organise a shoot with one of Australias two flying spitfires, both at the Temora Air Museum. The staff were great, and assisted me, MattyO and Michael_ a huge amount. The shoot was for the Australian Kidney Foundation, and featured the highest fundraisers of the Kidney Kar Rally, which this year raised over $500,000. The aircraft is worth about $4,000,000  1. Old Warrior at sunset  2. At the going down of the sun....  3. Me, hamming it up in the cockpit. I was nervous as hell climbing into it!  4. Our basic setup. 2 Alien Bees and a ringlight, MAttyO up a cherry picker, lights powered by inverter from a deep cycle battery. THe final image requires PP to remove shadows, which were impossible to avoid to to major timing constraints. All in all though, a very successful shoot. (forgive my shadow, shot is just to show you the setup). 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc http://www.awbphotos.com.au

Would love to see the final photos PP.
I was lucky enough to be at the last F1 GP in Adelaide, one of the days was on the 11/11 and just befoe 11am they asked the rowdy, alcohol fueled racegoers via the PA to observe a minutes silence in rememberance on the hour.
On the hour a ghostly hush came over the crowd and the only sound to be heard was a solo flyover by a Spitfire, the exhaust note is to anyone that has ever heard it evocative of so many emotions, it left the crowd moved and humbled, a truly special moment that will live with me forever!
Cheers Rob

ohh that first one is nice  , i personally would have picked a slightly different angle, but i am just being picky  The shoot was for the Australian Kidney Foundation, and featured the highest fundraisers of the Kidney Kar Rally, which this year raised over $500,000.
Temora Aviation Museum is great, its great to see people with some serious dough putting it towards something great like keeping these beasts in the air. Any chance of getting a sneak preview of the shot? (I understand if you cant due to paid commitments etc...) would be interested in seeing the results of that lighting setup.

Alan, Nice work. For the third, I'd suggest a crop, just around the dude in the cockpit, along the the writing just below it.  g.
