Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2012 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! Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salmo22 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2012 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). The Pass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2012 Great shots Jeff and the 2 months taken on that pass was well worth it I am amazed you can even see the pilot in the cockpit yet the jet wash is still visible just incredible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djgunter 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 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. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
