Had the recent privilege of photographing a flight operations at NAF El Centro. This included the daily Blue Angels practice. Here are a few of my favorites.

Absolutely beautiful shots Jeff. My 17 yr old nephew is dead set on becoming an aircraft engineer and designing aircraft for the military. Anytime there is an airshow anywhere near us we always go. Been able to see the Blue Angles and the Thunderbirds many times together. I will have to fwd these pics to him as I know he will really enjoy them!

I've been playing with a photo that I shot in El Centro as BA Opposing Solo #6 passed low and fast over our position. It was a rainy, overcast morning and presented me with post processing challenges that really tested my meager skills with CS5's sliders. I've been goofing with various treatments since then, including a monochrome shot with god beams - clearly a desperate act. I've never been totally satisfied with the final image; until now.

 

This afternoon I was massaging the pixels and finally achieved the look I've been after (It's taken me nearly two months).

Wow, fantastic shots! I'm dying to know what setup you were using? Lens & body etc...I'm guessing a Nikon because the colors are so vivid.
