Hi David,

Well done as they all look real. :-)

I trust you have the same good shoot with the jet flight today.

Big Bird is not just the large yellow bird on Sesame Street.

 

Here, in Logan Lake, it is a two-day  gathering of model airplane 

enthusiasts, from as far away as Saskatchewan and Oregon.

 

Taking photos of models is difficult for two reasons...   First of 

all, they move so fast, and are so close to you, that the relative 

motion is much greater than real planes at a real 

airshow.   Secondly,   they are, of course, much smaller, and it's 

tough to get a background which allows them to have any semblance of 

looking "real".

 

I gave it a stab, yesterday.

Comments, criticism welcomed, as always.

 

Cheers!

 

PS: I'm heading back there, in an hour ... for today there is 

rumoured to be a jet powered model, with a 6 foot (~2 meter) 

wingspan, which  is to  fly, this morning.  This, I've got to see!
