Leaving a Smoke Trail by Leanne Lindsay
The roar of the engines was almost deafening as the Red Devils tore into the sky at the V8 Supercars event at Eastern Creek! These pilots are true masters of their craft. I knew I had to capture some of the action on camera. This photo captures the Red Devils in a tight formation, their shapes form a streak against the bright blue sky. But what really caught my eye were the smoke trails left behind them. The sunlight hit them at just the right angle, making them glow. It almost looked like they were painting brushstrokes across the vast canvas of the sky. The way the light interacts with the smoke creates a sense of movement and dynamism in the photo. You can almost feel the power and precision of the Red Devils’ flight as they perform their daring maneuvers. This photo is a reminder of the awe-inspiring beauty that can be found in the world of aviation. It was an incredible experience to witness these skilled pilots in action, and I’m so glad I was able to capture a piece of the magic!

Born in Adelaide in 1962, Leanne Lindsay’s family moved to Sydney when she was 12 years old. She was gifted her first camera for her 21st birthday but a break-in saw her precious camera stolen just 3 years later. It was only in her late 50s she was able to afford to replace it and now in her 60s she has discovered a passion that was sadly lost many years ago. She now photographs families and newborns but enjoys architectural photography and landscapes in particular.
