Very nice Colin, I got there just in time to see it go homeward bound

Great timiong

Lovely reflection

Thank you all for the nice comments, it really does mean a lot to me

Thank you fogey

Thanks Colin, Yes its definitely worth a visit check opening times as they dont open all year, Thurs Sat Sun and it a fiver to get in, quite a few static plane inc Lightning, Vulcan, Nimrod etc and benches to sit and watch also small cafe and toilets. There are all sorts of commercial planes usind the airport and all the Formula 1 747 fly in and out plus there is a Jet Provost, spitfire and mustang based there, the spitfire is the one owned by Rolls Royce

Lovely image

Went to East midlands earopark to watch the commecial stuff in. Counted 20 planes in and 17 hwere Ryanair, started to get a little bored so dropped shutter down to 1/50 sec was challenging but it paid of blurring the background and the DHL wharehouse

Very nice Colin, i very nearly went up to loop but changed my mind at last moment, glad i did it was rammed

A bit like me that is lol

Lovely shots Ryewolf

Well ive tried following that utube video but it lost me, i really struggle following things on utube about photoshop as they all have there screens set to there own personel layout and its always different to mine, so i dont have a lot of patience with them hence my lack of knowhow with photoshop, i cant even get thru 1st step of lightroom as it takes over my pc and screws up all my files folders, ive had a simple proccess from downloading files labelling proccessing and storing them since i went digital and find it hard to adapt to change hence i dont bother with them now and just do my simple easy way. Thanks for all the advice though

I think this is a Shellduck 9Please correct me if im wrong) taken sunday just gone this was one very fast moving subject about 100 yds or so away had to use a 1,4x extender and still a masive crop, I really struggled to get one in focus they flew past extremely fast so made it it more of a challenge i wouldnt give up till i got one. 32 degrees no shelter ans sun burning my back

Taken in Borrowdale in the lakes very early morning

Thank you I have ACR adobe camera raw thats where id do all my work except resizing but will look at video to see if i can pull more. I dont need to open bridge to get to acr i just right click image, click open with photoshop and ACR opens up first with photoshop behind it, once ive done what i need to i select open at bottom right corner of ACR and it goes strait into photoshop where i mainly resize for internet and save as jpeg.

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions ive decided niether will go to print yet as much as i leke the composite for that dramatioc feel, it doesnt look real and ive tried several times with the original RAW file to improve the sky but cannot get any better with my limited skills in photoshopw. So im going to wait a while and try to get a better cloudy background with more cloud detail and see where i can go from there/ Thanks again for all the comments and advice

Well caught

Thank you, no ive not tried masking them its took me donkey’s years to find out how to replace the sky lol i dont use photoshop much only for sizing images for internet i do all my work in adobe camera raw, i find photoshop to complex for me

Still a nice set Colin

I fully agree Colin its not something i do a lot of i do like to present images as the camera saw them, Photographers usually see through composites and look deeper into images where general social media folk would go for the composite because of the sky. Ive got in the region of 10 terrabite HDD full of images spanniong way back and have in all this time only ever made a dozen or so composites.

Thank you, That is exactly my view as well Hence why i asked. I think i will mull over it for a time and see

can i ask you good people which do you think would look best on large print the original or the sky replacement from another Mamtor sunrise

Lovely set, never been to RIAT but have visited the base on several occasions to see USAF strategic bombers
