Here are some pics I took on sat. They looked better than this before I uploaded them. When they were uploaded to the site some went to mush.

Thanks Leigh,
Nice shots from you, like the PIGs with afterburner and the Veteran P51 Mustang

Yes, fotopic have a sneaky way of compressing your images even further - but you're penalised for the original file sizes off your 250Mb limit. But I guess free's free...

I like the "Veteran Mustang" one of my favourite bird. It's around AU$1Mil.
Expensive toy once again.

All of the airshow shots are great! Wonderful subject to photograph. Next time you guys photograph helicopters try and get a couple where the rotor is a blurred disk. You need to use a slow shutterspeed, about 1/60 or even 1/30 but the results can be spectacular. Great subject for the VR lenses.
