An almost perfect V-form departure for a 9.8 score.

Canon 5D Mark III with the 500L f4 lens offhand @ 1/1000, f9.5, ISO 400, no exposure compensation.

Cropped to a vertical aspect from its horizontal original.

It's at times difficult to judge your distance from the Snowys for these take-off photos.

It's a balance of not being too close, to avoid the clipping of wings, or too far, so that you limit how large you can print the image due to resolution loss.

Cheers,

Mike
