I will tell you another little story, I have a little radio receiver that it is tuned to the aircraft channel that I take with me to the airshows I go. The Red Arrows were flying straight and level and suddenly the voice of the 'Red leader' came over the airwaves ' BREAK', I tell you Tony the reaction of the pilots was faster than fast..... Thank you for your visit and comment my friend. All the best, Dimitris.

The Frecce Tricolori certainly have the biggest aerobatic team in the world. I admire tremendously all the aerobatic teams. It takes a very special kind of guy to fly like that.They must have instantaneous reflexes and apart of the physical qualities that the must possess in order to qualify they practice almost every day like a TEAM. They give us the best example of team work that the is. I have many photographs of the Italian team that you like and I will post some in the future. Thank you very much for your visit and comment my friend. Best regards, Dimitris.

An excellent photo and a perfect crop, it is funny how objects that are covered with snow acquire a different entity...The top chair looks as though it is a giant thump resting on the barbecue. Best regards, Dimitris.

I am much obliged by your visit and comment. Thank you very much. All the best, Dimitris.

Thank you very much Massimo. A lucky shot I guess :-). My warmest regards.

Thank you Mihali, one could see it like that too. My very best regards.

Thank you very much ! That's more or less what Monte Stinnett said on the original on November 2008.His exact words were: ''One of the cooler silhouettes I've seen, especially the long slender necks. 7/7''. Thanks again !.

Thank you for viewing. Please enlarge.

Striking abstract Pierre. Minimalistic ? I would say yes.

Taken the right time of day, love the shadow play especially the diagonal across the house, the tones are very good too they fit this picture well. Good work my Friend.

Thank you very much my friend ! This picture was always on my mind. As we get older we see things slightly differently..:-).

The period look of the picture is superb. Well done.

Wonderful cloud and a very painterly picture Mihali. Well done.

Surreal colour of the sky. The whole thing works well.

Superb light and composition. Black and white would be my choice. (PS Thank you for your recent comments my friend).

Your 30 second exposure and your low ISO produced an almost surreal photo. Smooth and tranquil. Minimalistic and apart for the very few details all one can see and feel is the light. Well done once more, my friend. Dimitris.

Thank you for viewing and any comments would be appreciated.

Last Sunday I drove to Duxford with a couple of friends. Duxford is an old, small aerodrome and every year they have an air show. I was disappointed when we arrived as the sky was cloudy and the light very flat and if the sun came out, according to the weather forecast, we would be facing directly into it. We decided not to go to the viewing gallery of Duxford and I drove as far as I could, parked the car and we walked along a small country lane opposite the runway for two hours in order to put the sun behind us. On the way we went through several guarded barriers that warned us that once the air show started we could not go back until it finished. We soon realized that the flight director did not want anybody to be under the flight path of any performing aircraft. The reason for this was last year’s accident at the Shoreham air show when a vintage Hawker Hunter crashed onto the A27 killing 11 people. The pilot looped the loop and he entered the loop at 200 feet, he was licensed to do this manoeuvre entering the loop at 500 feet. Three policemen on motorbikes stopped us and they said carry on until the last barrier. That we did and we ended up miles away from the air field and we sat on a grass verge with a very tall grass fence behind us. The sun begun to come out and blue patches of sky appeared. The photos that you see in this session are massive crops as the performing aircraft were too far away.
