Red Arrows Display over Bournemouth - 192 shots in 20 minutes, an average of one every 6 seconds. It was a fantastic show. You only get two chances of catching the synchro pair (they do it twice) and the second time I was lucky. However, it was south facing at middiy, so I was shooting into the sun. As a result, this shot was developed twice using Capture One and the aircraft were selected in a light copy and dropped onto a darker version to provide adequate light on the planes. Otherwise the processing was curves, Neat Image, crop, sharpen, convert to sRGB, save for web.
I had to pan left to right, which is why the rear plane has a little motion blur - it was travelling against the pan. Should have dropped the aperture to reduce the shutter - next time. . . . |

| Very nice capture. Seems to be working well. Except for the clouds. Maybe up the levels/curves and see what happens. But a nice positioning on them. |

| Great capture. Try selectively dodging and saturating white and red on the planes - and maybe reducing the saturation of the sky? |

| Good catch! Did you get one as they just pass each other? |

| Great timing, but I'd use some techniques to help the planes pop more. |

This was great timing.
Not sure if you followed one and hit it just right or knew where they would be, but regardless, it came out well.
Not an easy shot to pull off. |
