Hi all;

A pretty good suggestion there by W_F - so all pics relating to Skyshow 2009 (WAPOL, FESA, SJA, SES ... etc) - Feel free to post them here.

I have 598 photo's to sort through. Some though are from some boating with friends so it'll be just less.

edit: ok sorted through quite a few. Unfortunately start work at 0700 so am not going to sort through the rest till approx 1545. I can say though that I got some nice shots of R65.
For the record I had my new Pentax K20D with me, with the quality cranked up!

edit2: for those that are curious. I've been left with 4GB of photo's! Oh and if you would like copies of originals of particular shots or would like to know if there's more etc. then PM me as there will probably be more, and I'm happy to email you the full size photo...if it'll fit :roll: I'm thinking I might have to set up an FTP site for a bit or something like that!

This was spotted in south perth leaving the foreshore after the skyworks, it was also really difficult to take without a tripod.

Great work to all the photographers, and i'm sure there are a few more to come.

I don't have much of a photo contribution but armed with some graph paper i noted down all the WAPOL vehicles i saw.

+ A *(^%&^ load of TE bikes

Special thanks to all the volunteers/emergency services who did there best to make it a pleasant and safe evening.

EDIT: Is there a way to insert tables into the forum or do i have to keep inserting screenshots?

KG-636 also made an appearance, as I was heading back to Belmont HQ. Noticed the rather large whip antenae at the back. I was driving at the time, so no photo - sorry.
