Thanks Col, Gary, Marc, Leon, Hans, Steve & JA, I appreciate your comments.
The event was cancelled in 2020 due to CV-19 so the last time I photographed the C17-A was back in 2019 and I had forgotten how big the beast is, as well as its amazing agility.
I was a little rusty as these are the only aircraft events that I go to, so I adopted the “spray and pray” method as the EOS R5 has a much larger image buffer than my older Canon DSLRs.
This led to a lot of tedious culling, but also gave the opportunity to make a composite aligned on the buildings, so I could blend in several frames to show the C17-A on its 300 feet pass.
The composite C17-A image attached to this post is from 2018 where I was shooting from the top of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs.
Some colourful language in that clip JA.
Cheers
Dennis
