With a cloudy background, it is hard to tell which way to orient this one.

How about, rotate right? Then we have a clearer idea of 'up' and then maybe not. LOL I can see your dilemma. It's great either way. Amazing how they do this!

Fantastic capture . I can make out the pilot in the bottom plane looking up at the other. You were certainly at the right place, right time.So glad you shared this with all of us.

You must have a fantastic telephoto lens on your equipment...either that or you were in a plane next to this. I love airshows, even though I haven't been to one in years. This is an exceptional picture in its clarity and its content : )PJ

No matter which way you look at it, someone's upside down! LOL Telephoto lens? How strong? Hand held or tripod? I like how you cropped the photo so the planes are coming into the center, not leaving it. Very unique shot, Ted. - Patty

Good Lawd, did you capture this all by yourself? It's gorgeous and so sharp and clear. What an action shot. Professional from the word GO. That was a fantastic capture.
No need to send a thankyou. Some of us are trying to stop this time consuming activity. . Just use the time saved to create another pretty picture.

Nice capture Ted. Did you use a polarizing filter on this one? The color is very good.

this is a great shot. No matter which way is up, the other way is down.

A plane by my favourite maker - a Pitts S1E, if I am correct. Awesome shot!

Look at the Sun reflection on the cockpit window, great clue on possibly which way is up.
Amazing picture, one in a million shot!

rehab_junkie,

They aren't Pitts. 've seen these planes before and know for a fact that they are Christen Eagle II's. Great flying planes! Great Shot! It is the background on my ZVM. : )

Great shot! The pilot shmushed against the top of his cockpit in the top plane gives the orientation away. Amazing contrast for such a high shutter speed.

luvmacanon09 is right on. The Eagle is made by Aviat Aircraft in Afton, Wyoming and are sold as homebuilt kits. Fantastic shot!

Wow. I took the same picture about 3 months ago.. same planes, same position, but not nearly as clear as yours...

Those are the Iron Eagle Aerobatics, and the planes are Super Christen Eagle I's, modified to produce 320 hp... 2 of 4 still flying today. Awesome shot - honestly even better than the ones they have on their own web page! www.ironeagle2.com

Nice capture either way!
