About the Image(s)
Sony α99ii, Sony 500mm f/4 lens with 1.4 teleconverter (focal length 700mm), f/5.6, 1/4000 sec., ISO 1000, circular polarizer, tripod, gimbal.
The US Navy Blue Angels are the highlight of the Ocean City Air in Maryland every June. Here they fly in their classic formation called the “diamond.” They flew over the beach three blocks from me on the fifth floor of my timeshare condo. I rotated the image about 90 degrees clockwise so the F 18/A Super Hornets were flying up, now down “ then cropped it. I used Noise Reduction at high ISO so that I could use a very fast shutter speed and good depth of field because these jets were screaming fast. In Photoshop I used Camera Raw Filter dehaze, white and black, highlight and shadow adjustments with smart sharpening. Please compare this photo with my July 2019 entry and let me know which you like.
