Hold on there! After seeing this one, I want to see more.

I 2nd that would love to see some more. I've not made an airshow for a long time and hope to get a couple in this year.

What lens/settings were you shooting with?

Lastly the only thing that lets this shot down is that after resizing you haven't sharpened it up (always the last part of any post processing that I do before posting on web or printing) so hope you don't mind here is a version with unsharp mask applied.

Nice job Mark. Could I ask if you are using Photoshop and what unsharp mask settings do you use?

Amount?

Radius?

Threshold?

I used Paintshop Pro (I'm still faster at doing everything in that rather than PS) but it would be Amount 100% Rad 1 Thresh 0. These are the default settings I use for the majority of things. Sometimes for web I will go down to Rad 0.8 but have a play around and see what you like.

Very nice image. You should submit it to www.airliners.net for consideration. Their technical acceptance criteria is very stringent, but I suspect this may make the cut!
