Blue Angels 2004 - Last pass over the beach before heading home.

As always, your comments and ratings (good or bad) are greatly

appreciated. -N

Norman, now you've gone and done it,,haven't you!!!!

Fantastic mate, Love the composition & framing, well done.

Norman, found this from a comment you left elsewhere. Now that is a picture of the Blue Angels. Expertly exposed and the colors are great.

I agree, the exposure and colors are fantastic. I wish I'd had that kind of light when I shot. Again, excellent - from fellow Blue Angel shooter.

The light is that reflected onto the jets from the sand on the beach... I tell you, they were low.... REALLY LOW. :)

 

Going to 2 shows this summer.. can't wait! I might even rent a 400 2.8 for it. Will post when I do. Thanks for the kind words and for looking at my shots.

This is my second favorite of your Blue Angels photos. A good case of less is more, or maybe it's more is more in the sense that there's more airplane and less blue space in this pic than in the whole-formation shots.

 

The close cropping works here because it squeezes the content of the picture and emphasizes the closeness of the formation. Good stuff.

 

Norman,

 

Fantastic shot!! I am new to DSLR (about 2-3 months) and this website. I recently went to Andrews AFB for the yearly airshow and took a few pics. Would really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback and tips on how to improve my pictures.

 

Thanks,
