NDP Preview 2008 (Parachutes and Aerial displays)

Parachuting and more aerial displays for this post. Most of the pics shot using my zoom lens 70-210mm. As usual this was the crowd-pleaser segment as the parachutist come gliding into the floating platform and the fighter planes zip through the air in synchronized timing.

*some of the photos had to go through editing as the colours when taken were pretty flat. it's a little exaggerated, but i guess it makes the photos a little more artistic.

This series of photos is of the aerial displays that the Black Knights put up during the parade, and also includes the fly-pass of the national flag. I tried to take more shots so the series would be longer, but I hope this will do!

NPD preview 2008 (People @ the parade)

Thanks to my best bud, I managed to get my hand on some NDP preview tics (coz he knows i want to take some pics of the parade). So I lugged my camera equipments and readied myself for lots of photo-taking!

 

Even before the parade I was already disappointed by a bad experience. Before entering the NDP grounds, we had to throw away all bottled waters, or were expected to pour away all liquids, aerosols etc. zzzzzzzz. Don't see the reason to, and I actually wanted to take a picture, but the security guy looked really scary.

NDP Preview tics! (quite nice eh)

The rest of this post is about people at the parade. I tried to capture some photos of people around me, but was pretty limited to my seat and couldn't get around. Hope you'll like these:
