Blue Angels C&C

Just got back from Pensacola enjoyed the trip, the first one is the #5 going 700mph just short of breaking the sound barrier, the next one is the next frame I got

Love the first one, good catch!

DId you know that it was coming from there on the sneak pass? The only reason I got a similar shot was that I knew where to look?

Nice captures.

FA, I did not know it it was a lucky series and someone told me after the #5 came by that he was going 700mph, I did catch him on the pass to the left but he didn't have the halo and I was expecting him then it just wasn't as dramactic. I knew he had not broken the sound barrier that close to everyone but was pretty darn close on the first pass, I was lined up right next to some trees that had my view to the left blocked, I heard it coming and had a very short time to catch it and focus on it, I was pretty amazed I got the shots. At a higher resolution it looks very good and I actually got 4 pictures of it total and two were tighter. I think I have about 300 keepers that turned out real well

I like #3

I love #1. #2 and #5 look to me like they might be just a touch overexposed.

excellent

The sneak pass is always a difficult capture, even when you know it's coming. Nice job.

thanks everyone

Not sure if i would crop out the ground in the first one. It's good to show altitude, but for me its distracting. Perhaps it's the green, it looks a bit off.

It's green because they had around 4 inches of rain the previous 2 days, I left it in there to show just how low the plane was flying as he did the pass, I agree that it is distracting but does add so qualities to the shot. I will crop it out for my gallery but thought people might find it interesting how low to the ground the jet was flying

thanks for your input

Would love to get shots like that.
Nice
