Thanks for looking.

 

Cheers, Mike

Unique shot and good timing. Congrats.

Great shot! Thanks as always for the ratings, Helen

Love the shot... Linda

Great shot. Looks like a good time. Best Wishes-Jim

Wow I hadn't heard of this race before! Great compisition to get the buildings in behind to put the race in context. Only wish the plane wasn't confused against the cone. I wonder if you have another photo a fraction before or after this one??

Great shot, you find the right timing, very nice

Wow, this had to be very exciting, what a challange here. Great capture. Take care

Thank you all for stopping by and for all your kind words.

 

I have watched the race a number of times from my lounge but this was the first opportunity I have had to travel to Perth to see it in person. The pilots fly their tiny planes as low as 20m off the water at almost 400km/hr – it’s a great spectacle!

 

All the best

Hi Mike, this one is my favorite

Thank you Christa; this one, with the skyline of the city of Perth in the background, is one of my favourites too.

 

All the best

Mike
