erin.e 0 Posted October 31, 2003 "Are you feeling lucky, punk?" I heard this voice say as I pressed the shutter. Luck was a big element in this pic. Reasonably sharp for a slow shutter speed with a long lens plus converter, framing and timing worked out well too. No clouds in the sky, I haven't worked out whether that is an advantage or disadvantage, there is nothing to draw the eye from the airborne opponents. Comments welcome Link to comment
abarak 0 Posted October 31, 2003 Superb. Hard to believe this was really taken when the planes were flying in the sky... Looks more like a pro photoshop work. Congrats! Link to comment
tim_adams 0 Posted November 2, 2003 Another great shot. Excellent DOF. Timing was perfect. Link to comment
xre 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Excellent! And whoever said that AF on the D60 wasn't up to par?? :) Link to comment

deathbycanon 0 Posted December 30, 2003 It's unbelievable how clear you got the image with those moving planes! It makes them look like little toys! Fantastic shot! Link to comment
jmcconnell2 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I think the sky is perfect, you did this one as good as it gets, love your work! regards -Jim Link to comment
nino1 0 Posted March 19, 2004 Great!great! great! Red Baron against Snoopy! great shot! perfect framing and moment! I think it's difficult to make good shots with these subjects, long lense and teleconverter! Link to comment
spohn 1 Posted July 4, 2004 I agree, a great shot Erin -definitely no mean feat to time something this well. What altitude were these guys flying at? Were there any Australian infantrymen around to simulate the shoot down of the Red Baron? :-) Link to comment
erin.e 0 Posted July 5, 2004 Thanks for the positive comments everyone, Albert, they weren't very high, I would estimate around 250 metres. No Aussie Infantry around, or Kiwis. Plenty of pretend Poms and Germans tho! ;-) Link to comment
f1-fanatic 0 Posted December 7, 2004 I must say that this photo completely floored me! Awesome shot... I woud give it a 10/10 if I could Erin. Really nice capture. -NP Link to comment
gemccaw 1 Posted April 7, 2005 Terrific shot....what's not to like! You have cited luck but it's certainly luck of your own creation. Well done. Link to comment
cappoldt 0 Posted April 12, 2005 Absolutely remarkable shot - from lighting to comp, what more could you have asked for?! Link to comment
CharlesBecker-Toronto 5 Posted September 14, 2009 a terrific shot and I don't think the pure blue sky is a problem in any way. regards, cb :-) Link to comment
