Thanks, I was actually just trying to remember if I'd seen the Eurofighter again on Saturday... I know it was supposed to fly but I think I missed it since I left a bit early to beat the traffic and the flight order was changed from what they had advertised on the website.

Here's the few shots I decided to keep of the B-17

Still sorting these out!

It's hard to take shots of the Red Arrows that actually look different :|

At least there's a different background!

This is a fairly typical one I guess

This one is cool since you can see everyone looking at the leader

Another fairly standard one I guess apart from the water!

I saved my faves till last! The F-16 was pretty much the reason I went to Eastbourne this year since I'd seen everything else a few times before.

The weather was doing its best to put me off since it was windy as hell and then it rained 20-30 minutes before the F-16 was due on. Luckily, I could see the cloud was small-ish so I just had a lie down on the grass to get out of the wind and I kepy my camera/lens dry since the rain was sideways!

Turns out it was worth it

The rain clouds had moved on past the display area by now so they were in the background and you can see that in the first shot. They weren't quite that dark but a little artistic license/processing was used here.

The rest of the shots are from the pass by as the F-16 exited the display area so all from one pass really.

The last two are a processing experiment. The shot was up into the sun so colours were pretty bleached anyway. I tried B&W and liked it but later, I also missed the warm of the sun so I decided to do a B&W shot with some warmth added in Lightroom but no other colours. It's essentially imported as a B&W after being saved in PS and then warmed up.

More Canada stuff! Full album here - https://flic.kr/s/aHsmbpmcxq

The parc itself seemed pretty nice and was pretty natural looking. It was a bit cramped trying to get shots using my 200-400 from the small car we were in but it still worked out alright
