The Showoff: Look Ma No Hands

This guy was an incredible stunt pilot and this was the first plane we saw flying overhead at the airshow. I liked the color of the plane. I'm a sucker for red:).

Watching and capturing the planes was amazingly fun. But I wish I had been shooting with this: http://365project.org/amandal/themes-challeng/2015-06-24

Have you ever been a showoff? I can distinctly remember the time as a kid where I recognized that I was showing off for company. And I thought, "Oh gosh, what am I doing?" That was an embarrassing moment.

[carol white]

Wonderful action capture. Fav!! 😃

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Perfect capture! (Is that Snoopy I see in the cockpit??)

[Simply Amanda]

@lyndemc Nah, he was chasing the red baron (or was he?). Oh so confused:).

[Vera]

This one made me smile! It's like a airplane version of the little train that could!

[Rosie Kind]

Great contrast against the blue sky

[tony gig]

We have a group called the Red Checkers who show off in the sky - they practice lot and thats important. I dislike and have always dislike showing off. My mother used to push me forward amongst her group of afternoon tea friends saying, "Margaret can dance, show us Margaret!" I hated it.

[Simply Amanda]

@maggiemae Oooh, you can sing and dance, right. Show us. Yes, that would be annoying. Such pressure.

[Cathy]

Strong diagonal and pop of red!

[Rosie Kerr]

Super pop of red against the sky and strong diagonal composition. What a fun place to shoot!

[Faye Turner]

Wonderful capture! That little pop of red is great. Fav

[KWind]

Wow... great capture! Such a clear and detailed action shot.

[Lin]

So very awesome - congrats on flying onto the PP!

[Sam]

Outstanding image and decent database software too. ;)

[Amrita]

Superb shot Amanda.
I would melt into the background if I could...

[Kathy]

Cool shot!! Not something I would do if I were sober! LOL Not something I "should" be doing if I was drinking!! FAV!
Have I ever shown off? Yup!! Only when I was doing something really stupid!!! Never to be mean or think I was better, just when I wanted attention and it was really stupid!! Like skinny dipping with friends, at night, in an apartment complex swimming pool, with all the outside lights shining on the pool!! This was many, many, many moons ago!!! LOL

[Tony]

Terrific shot, difficult to pick the moment.

[David]

So Amanda, have you overcome your embarrassment yet? :-)

[Simply Amanda]

@cashew moons...hahahaha!!!

[Simply Amanda]

@yrhenwr Yes, I am not easily embarrassed and can be quite silly. I can also embarrass the heck out of my kids which is kinda fun:).

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Great capture and composition! Fav!

[Chris Johnson]

Cool shot! Quite the showoff but when i person can fly a plane upside down, i don't mind it!

[Kathy]

@amandal Snort! Caught that did you? LOL LOL

[Simply Amanda]

@cashew I can be really quick, when I am not slow:).

[Osia Strasner]

I love red, too!! Wonderful capture on this one.....you caught him just in time!
