Flying Legends 2011

Here are some of my shots from Legends. The weather wasn’t really ideal from a photography perspective - some more sun would have been appreciated.

Anyway, here we go, in no particular order - hope you like them!

Very nice. Impressive photography. Wish I could have been there.

Thanks, Apollo - it was a good day - bar the loss of an aircraft or 2.

Great shots as ever James, its easier to take clear shots on high shutter speeds, but the clarity and quality in the panning shots at lower shutter speeds (what gives the prop blue for not photographers) is fantastic.

Thanks Keets.

It is tricky but the weather was pants, so why not have a crack at some low speed stuff :slight_smile:
