Sweet planes!
But the photo's are kinda dark...

Most of the shots were backlit. Only way to lighten them more is by making big changes in Photoshop and I won't do that. I still have more shots to process, I'll see if there are any brighter shots. The sun only came out for the last half of the show.

Why won't you photoshop?

Lightroom has great features to touchup lighting in photos and it does not affect the image badly, as in no pixelation/noise.
*The exposure function is the tool to use.

I do use Photoshop, just sparingly. I do not (usually) make major changes. If major changes are needed, it is usually because you didn't do something right when you took the shot in the first place. Can't get better if you lean on photoshop to much. Some people like to get artistic, and that is fine, I just like to take pictures of what I see.

Gotcha. I agree about leaning on photoshop to fix a photo. I like doing the artistic thing, but it is a rare shot that I think is worth the time/effort.
