Blue Angels 8

2007 Thunder Over Michigan Air Show

Comments and opinions welcome..........

Tim, this a heck of a great shot! Absolutely brilliant perspective and POV. Nice cropping and composition. This would make a great poster in the local Navy recruiter's office. Nice work. Cheers! Chris

I think this is a almost excellent shot! Realy nice! The only thing I miss is a cool sky. But it is a O=7 and A=6.

Tim,

This is better than I've seen yet of the Blues. I live in PCola, the Blue Angel home and see them twice a week in practice, and this shot absolutely rocks. I am going to share it with my shipmates down here. Well done.

 

Oh, the sky is a perfect shade with the wisp of cloud to add perspective. Timing is perfect with the Flight Leader on top in perfect precision with 2,3 and 4. Your framing of the scene is good, as you give enough empty space for them to fly into, and just enough trail to show that this is live. No grain and the shot is absolutley clean. I can almost see the Commander's face.

 

Superb!

Wow, thanks Andrew, what a great compliment. I was at the show for four hours on a record setting hot day this past summer, I (idiotically) did not wear a hat (I shave my head) and suffered what had to be the worst sunburn of my life.......took about 300 shots total at the show and when I got this one, I was ecstatic when I checked the preview, its one of those rare moments when you know you got the shot and its what drives me to keep shooting. I've been reworking a lot of my shots here, since I calibrated my monitor, and have been losing the frames.......I'll see if I can't make it look even better.......thanks again!
