the Balbo (a different perspective)

Martin, it is interesting perspective, indeed. However my eyes have difficulty to catch something on this shot. Too many objects and too flat it seems to me. I would compose differently, with attempt move body of the large aircraft more to the left just to keep left engine within the picture.

Superb take on the balbo. I am more than happy with the composition - the B25 looks just right; excellent variety of prop blur as well.

Hi Martin,

I guess this is the shot you told me about!

My Balbo shots are not worth posting, after seeing this. Excellent capture. Comp is fine for me too.

Well done Martin, now I know why I saw you jumping up in the air. No, I don't mean that's how you captured this photo but afterwards when you were chimping with excitement. I presume you are pleased with this shot?. I think Duxford would be happy to get hold of a print.

This is quite stunning. It's time I got back to Duxford.

For those who dont visit duxford the Balbo is a mass flyby at the end

of the flying legends air show. Flying legends is promoted as the

best warbird display anywhere, and possibly it is. there are no jets

to spoil the puritity of the sound of the huge piston engins from an

age gone by. please enjoy & imagine the ground trembling from rhis

lot passing over your head.

Martin, I know this critique is almost two years late but this is the best balbo picture I've ever seen. Congrats on a great shot.
