Thanks for posting,

I find the colour variation when taking photos of the Reds has a wide spectrum even when on continuous shooting.

Nice, but what was the point of the monochrome image?

Well whatever you are currently smoking is probably illegal in large quantities man!


I know very well the power of B+W shots, but can't for the life of me see the point of a monochrome shot of the RED Arrows! [-x
