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. . . .

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.
