Great capture Dennis! My question is how did you pick an exposure to suit?

We were in town waiting for Riverfire. There was a newspaper article mentioning the IIS would be visible in the lead up to the show, so I looked up heavens above and worked out where to look. It arrived, bang on cue.

The jets were incredible during their daylight passes. They were banking from side to side along the city reach of the river, and then pulling up sharply to avoid the apartment buildings beside the Story Bridge. They appear to be much more manoeuvrable than the old F1-11s, but not as loud or spectacular without the dump and burn...
