I didn't think I could post non-m43 photos here, thanks very much for allowing it! Here are a few of my favourites, shot on various Canon / Nikon equipment over the years.

Nice effect! Now if you could just figure out how to create some prop blur...

Love the F-111 shot. If I ever get around to unpacking my slides I have a similar shot from RAF Finningley back from I think 1977

I was sent a video of the destruction of the Pig fleet, I was so heartbroken to see beautiful aircraft scrapped

I only respond because your sig says you welcome comments and criticism. First, what day did you go? I was there on Saturday and could not have asked for a nicer day. I think you should have left the polarizer off the lens. All your photos seem to be a bit to dark and could use with some lightning. Personally I see no reason to use a polarizer for shots that include the sky because you can fix any thing in post with the quality of the software now. Did you add vignette to the photos? Personally I don't like vignette added to photos and in this case makes the photo seem any darker. Anyways, nice photos and hope you are ok with my comments.

I was there on Saturday. I like the polarizer for controlling the glare off the planes, have to agree with you about the sky. Post was the simple iPad "enhance" - I'm sure I can do better on the "real" computer.

I have found spot metering on the plane results in better exposure, but it's TOUGH when they are further away and moving faster. Some of these are missed exposures where I got the sky instead of the plane IMHO.

I nailed the mirror image pass though:

Nice catch on the pass, I missed it.

Some shots from the neat little aircraft museum at Tauranga NZ. Awesome for a small place to have a busy aviation scene, there used to be a 737 simulator here for a while, it's a great place. I shot the E-M1 and 12-40 for these, I stuck it on my tripod for these, the inside ones are mostly processed with Enfuse, some with HDR Efex Pro 2. Still working on re-doing my HDRs with Enfuse. The museum has a great cafe, you can come, go flying, walk round the museum, then sit in the cafe and go through your photos for as long as you like, it's magic.
