Red Bull Air Race Abu Dhabi

[Mart61]

Whilst on holiday in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, we were fortunate enough that our stay coincided with the Red Bull Air Races.

These shots are with my D300 and 80-200 f/2.8:

These are a bit "quick and dirty" - I've been awake for about 40 hours so am not at my best. :biggrin:

40 hour awake look pin sharp to me.seen these in action blink and there gone well caught.

You have some lovely sharp images there, well done. Love the 2nd shot.

Thanks guys.

Here's another. I confess to have cheated somewhat. It's a composite shot as, whilst I saw this happen, the shots I had of the aircraft in this postion were a little soft. So I used the aircraft from the next shot to get the effect.

Hope the join ain't too obvious...
