Aluminum Overcast (B-17)

I know that there are a few here that like airplanes and possibly airplane pictures. I hope that you do not mind me sharing a few with you.
A few weeks back, this plane toured through Spokane. I went and took a few pics. I love these old war birds. I finally got around to working with them:). I hope you like the pics.
These were taken with my Sony A700 and Sony 18-250mm lens and processed in Lightroom.

Air show shots

I can't recall that I have ever shot photos at an air show with a SLR or DSLR. I need to work on my tracking abilities, but I think I got a few decent shots. Strangely, there weren't many people taking pictures at this event.

Duxford

Hi everyone,

Early last week I went and spent a day at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, UK. I took a variety of photos and posted below are a selection of images. One of the things I found very difficult was trying to get a good angle on the plane, although I was using a Sigma 10-20 mm for most of the shots, there was a real danger that by going too wide I'd get dull images. Hopefully these are not, though I'm sure you'll tell me if they are :-) feel free to C+C.
