Post by: Brett Buck on February 29, 2012, 11:58:44 PM: This one is about 2 minutes later, Kaz looking very nervous

Post by: Brett Buck on March 01, 2012, 12:05:17 AM: Perhaps this is WHY he's so nervous (actually, this is not the same flight so that was poetic license). BTW, note that the light this day was PERFECT beyond all imagination, this is completely unmanipulated.

Post by: Brett Buck on March 01, 2012, 12:16:21 AM: Dave is intense even when he's just practicing.

AMEN!!! TRULY AWESOME SHOTS!!!First, Brett, your panning shots are amazing...(Especially that Granderson's model!) However you have that uncanny MINDS EYE that seems to know when to capture the EXPRESSIONS, EMOTIONS, on the faces of those pilots who are engaged in the moment of flying the pattern...
THANKS BRETT for taking the time to post these and also taking the time to share the names and stories behind your amazing photographs. BW@

Post by: Steve Fitton on March 04, 2012, 11:51:30 AM: This would be perfect if I photoshopped out the background

Post by: Steve Fitton on March 04, 2012, 11:52:46 AM: A fair amount of down here....
Title: Re: Flattery will get you anywhere....
Post by: Steve Fitton on March 04, 2012, 11:56:43 AM: I don't have the iso capability to have both plane and pilot in the depth of field

Post by: Steve Fitton on March 04, 2012, 11:59:37 AM: I would have liked the depth of field to capture PWs expression in this one...

And the paint bubbles, and the starved horse! Might find that background a little tedious to get rid of.

Post by: Steve Fitton on March 05, 2012, 08:40:45 AM: Fitzgerald's game face, even early in the week at Muncie on a rainy practice flight.

PS, note the footwork, if I planted my right foot like that it would mean surgery.

He left off the caption: "There. That's how you launch a stunt plane. I hope you are watching, but you are probably scanning the sky for your opponent."

If that pose was seen on Monday Night Football the announcers would be cringing and mumbling "ACL, ACL" all while showing replays of it again, and again, and again....
