Duxford Battle of Britain air show, Saturday 16th September.

DSC5673 by Captain Slow, on Flickr.

Unfortunately the harsh light and haze meant that my images of the B17 Memphis Belle flying with the BBMF Lancaster - for the first time in 30 years, apparently - are a bit pants.

Haven't been out with a camera much lately, but finally got around to processing a couple of shots from a few months back.

High Tide at Dunster Beach by Elliott and Nolan, on Flickr

Not obvious here but it had only just stopped raining. This is just to the east of MInehead on the Bristol Channel. Misty as usual.

Good day out at a local club rally last weekend - always impresses me the level of commitment some of these guys show on a blind rally with no pace notes, makes for good photo opportunities too! Album here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAYsxx

What's the collective opinion on this - good concept, or just a bit naff? I was panning and it flew straight in front of the sun...I think I like how it came out but looking for a second opinion?

Sometimes you need to think really hard about the shot you want to create, and sometimes you just need to be standing in the right place at the right time - this was one of the latter!

I think it's a pretty decent shot, but probably needs some Lightroom tweaking to lift the overall image. Personal opinion - I think it's overexposed. Maybe increase the black/shadow levels so the plane is black. Play around with the highlights to increase sky detail (or even use LR's AI sky tool which is quite good). The flare in the bottom right is a bit distracting, so perhaps remove that, or crop the image. Just my thoughts.

My understanding is that it's the one in the sun that gets to you.

I think it's a great shot and would only tone down the blown highlight in the top left and get rid of the flare in the bottom right.

The instant I saw it I thought of this.
