Afterburner

The pilot told me later that the afterburner screws up fuel consumption badly but what drama! Is the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) Airshow. Instead of relying solely on a tele lens, I switched to a 50mm fixed-focal lens and walked nearer to the ground aircraft for a dual look. Is called zooming with your legs.

The tarmac on the runway isn’t the best place to photograph the air show though. The many hills on the island provide a better vantage point especially when there is formation flying.

Supersonic Dogfight

Have you ever seen fighter jets at eye-level firing flares to deflect heat-seeking missiles? It is spectacular and scary at the same time. I photographed this supersonic dogfight during the LIMA 2011 Airshow in Langkawi.
