I think that one belongs on Darky's 'Landing' thread. The pilot clearly just wanted a better view of the strip during flare...

 

 

[Guest Qwerty]

Excellent landing technique. Plenty of power, nice nose high attitude, side slip to see where he's going. He should touch down in a nice three point atitude, maybe the tail wheel might touch just lightly ahead of the mains. Overall good work from this pilot.:thumb_up:

Lovely shot, Spin. Very atmospheric. (Pardon the pun!)

 

Now for: A Damn Fine Red, Yak 52 VH-RED at the AAAA Toy Run.

Congratulations to Matt (or was it really Kaz?!) on making the cover of this month's Pacific Flyer with the superb shot of Matt Grigg's Globe Swift over the beach!

 

Finally, one last shot before Christmas: Hard Yakka (Yak 52 VH-KMM) departing the AAAA Toy Run -

 

 

Happy Christmas and safe flying in 2010!

G'day Philthy,

 

Most of your shots make me want to dig out some of my SLR gear again, they're brilliant!.

 

Having said that, if you ever ask yourself if your in the right job:question: The answer must be yes. As good as you are, photographers don't normally have a pension at the the end of service, so stick with it.

 

Keep clicking away mate, I just luv what you post, they'd make a great calender for aviation nuts like me and many others.:thumb_up:

 

Kind regards

G'day Philthy,...Keep clicking away mate, I just luv what you post...

Kind regards

Thanks Planey! I aim to please - and am pleased that others get pleasure from my photos as I do taking them. It's only a matter of learing from other people (and believe me, there are better aircraft photographers out there than me!), then practice, practice, practice. Oh, and Photoshop helps too! :big_grin:

 

All the best to everyone for a safe and enjoyable 2010!

Thanks Angela, I'm bucked about that, especially as there were some spectacular photos entered. Now if I could just catch that Kiwi who left his towel over the tail:bash: - only noticed it once I put the shot up on the computer.
