The Blackpool Airshow was a great experience for me and thanks to my zoom lens I got some great shots!
While editing the images it was quite apparent that some of the planes looked a bit boring against the white backdrop of the sky - until I remembered the work of Josef Hoflehner. His series entitled 'Jet Airliner' are some of the most inspiring images I have seen - ever.
The simple black and white he uses really makes you concentrate on the subject at heart.I know mine are no way near as impressive as it was only a small air show but the idea is there
and I really love how the details stand out with the contrast and being so zoomed in we can see even the details on the sides and wings.
The bomber photo really took to this contrasty style as it appears quite dark and strong looking, which is what it sounded like. I also like the tilt of it as it shows off the propellers and wings.
The last two are also really nice as the smoke adds to the movement without too much blur. I especially like the 'wing walker' shot at the girls on top are in perfect harmony which I find hard to believe at them heights!
well i heard them but why didn;t i look out of my window! kicking myself now
ReplyDeleteI know it was a great day to be honest, best I have seen in a while. I was right on the beach and I had forgotten how good it felt to feel the sand between my toes! x
