Visible shock waves as the solo does a sneak pass. Amazing that down in SD (where it's supposedly drier...) they had gobs of vapor and the most amazing shock cones I think I've ever seen. Jay

Yet here you are in SF getting what looks like Wright-Patterson AFB-quality molecular disturbances with no visible vapor at all! Truly Odd...  I was hoping for some vapor cones. I'm going down again tomorrow and see if I can see a different variation.

My favorite area to shoot from since they get really close there PhotosGuy wrote in post #11068120 I don't think I've seen one quite like #1 before! All are excellent shots IMO. [GIFS ARE NOT RENDERED IN QUOTES] Thanks! I've seen a few photos online of the shock wave and was happy I was able to get a shot of it! Toshi [••

Marina Green is closer to the Golden Gate Bridge. This area is really good is you have shorter focal lengths because they fly right over you several times throughout the show. Toshi [••

May I also ask the time you arrived at you're spot? I'm planning for next October. "It doesn't matter what camera you have if your photography has nothing worthwhile to say"
