Red Arrows Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The famous Red Arrows flying over my house from an RAF Airshow in Dalton Barracks.

Acknowledged as one of the world’s premier aerobatic teams, The Red Arrows are the public face of the Royal Air Force. The Red Arrows exist to demonstrate the professional excellence of the RAF and promote recruitment to the RAF. Evidence shows that The Red Arrows have inspired a significant number of people to join the RAF, both as officers and airmen, and to all trades, not just aircrew.

The Team contributes to Defence Diplomacy, and supports wider British interests through the promotion of British industry overseas. The Hawk aircraft flown by the Team and most of its components are all British made. Thus during overseas tours The Red Arrows demonstrate both British skill and British technology to an enormous number of people each year.

Thankyou for your comments.

I like the capture of these fast birds! If I might make some tiny suggestions?
First I would try to compose the posted image on a rule of thirds. Place the subject in the upper third portion of the image to gain a feeling of height.
Secondly the same rule applies to their horizontal placement: give them one third space of air in front and put them in the right-hand two thirds of the composition.
These make for a more attractive image and you'd get more hits from visitors and inevitably a better point total too

Hi Joe,
A photo with few elements, very graphical and dynamics, with the planes in formation that they give us the sensation of high speed in its flight.
Difficult shot, but realized good. I like the colors of the planes and of its stelas.
Best regards,
Josep

Interesting notes on the Red Arrows Joe. Well captured. Had to laugh when I came on to the page as from right to left your three images were of clouds, then this and finally as if the had baled out. Have a good weekend.
