johnloguk > 27.2.09 - It's a Collage Jim, but not as we know it :)

This is a cheat today I'm afraid. Friday is always a bad day for me posting on the Dailies, so here is one I prepared earlier. This is the Red Arrows, the RAF aerobatic display team, and they are based less than 5 miles from me at Scampton, home of "The Dambusters" and all that. I've loved these guys since I was a kid, dreaming of being able to fly and going to Air Shows. These shots are all of them practicing, some days I can even see them out of my windows at home, who needs to pay big money to go to an airshow when you can watch for free :)

If you want to see a full display there is a wonderful video here on Youtube of a show they did over New York harbour last Summer. It is 23 minutes long, but there is a bit at 11.30 where they do a move that will make you gasp., enjoy!

Some of you have asked how to make these collages. There is no great skill, I just use a photo layout in Elements, all I do is drag the photos into place.
johnloguk > Red Arrow coming in to land. I'm lucky to live so close that I can see these guys practising and get out there with my camera. I was right under their flight path as they came in to land.
