Outtakes from the Air Show
I’m still on the road and using the quiet hours to work through my photographs from the air show. Aviation photography sure does have a way of revealing one’s limitations! The aircraft fly faster than I expect. The framing is just a few feet off. Someone stands up in excitement and photobombs the shot. Another aircraft intrudes at precisely the wrong moment. The Patriots were particularly good at that. Yes, I blame them even though they were parked.
Rather than be annoyed, I thought I might share some of my favourite near-misses. They are not the photographs I intended to take, but they still had that special something of being at an airshow.
I have also been experimenting with short video. If you are a YouTube kinda person, you may be interested in my somewhat dusty YouTube channel while I finish sorting through the photos. This will probably be an airshow-only thing but it’s been fun to play with digital effects and loud music.
Hey, stupid question: do they still do the OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD music during the airshow?
I realized about 5 years ago when I couldn’t hear 4 F-18s flying overhead that it had gotten out of hand, and I haven’t gone to an airshow since.
