Another photo of fury and braveness. Congratulations on your Award. I love it so much. Do you know that last year we were so frustrated because we paid the ticket and they don't fly due to nature's call. The fog was so thick.

Behind The Lens

Location

Taken over the Singapore sky of the aerial display by the Singapore's Black Knight, Aerial Display Team of the Singapore Armed Forces. Shot during the Air Show in February 2014. The original photo has the centre plane being block by the trailing smoke. Edited to pit the smoke behind the plane, bringing the plane forward to give a most impactful shot. Slight retouched to improv the colour contrast and levelling.

Time

The display were at 11.30 where the sky were clear of commercial flights. Nearby the the famous Changi International Airport. The squadron comprises of six F-16C Fighting Falcons.

Lighting

This acrobatic team was form in 1973 and they were named as the Osprey Red but 1974, they changed it to Black Knights

Equipment

I was shooting with my Nikon D5200 and my Nikon 18-300mm long lens.

Inspiration

Thus acratic team were back on display after a long ten years break.Soaring the Singapore sky once again in 2014 Air Show.

Editing

Photo the smoke trail to the back of the photo to show more of the F016C. Give the photo a lot more impact and power. Already as it is, a power statement of some sort, it just for improving on that. The Air Show come on only once every two year.

In my camera bag

Nowadays, I use a lot of my Sony a7m2 on a 24 to 240mm long lens and also my work horse, the Nikon P900 for daily shoots.

Feedback

Use even your mobile phones to shoot any moments otherwise you might regret forever.
