Default Macro & Not-so-Macro Flying things

I made it out Saturday and ran into a variety of flying things. The first two are from the local marsh and the last two are from the Air Show at Hill Airforce Base. While I didn't make it inside to see the show I did see a lot on the fringe. All were taken with the 100-400 zoom.

Wow wildjob, what a set of captures. The macros are amazing. The detail is so sharp and the colours and DoF excellent and then the non macro ones. I love the airplane pics and love the perspective of the first one. The second one is just excellent mate. That is one great capture of the formation flying. All great work wildjob. Well done.

Jake.

Very nice series. I especially like the last one - exposure is spot on and details are very clear.

All of them are very well done. The last one is very impressive.
