About the Image(s)
From the Cleveland Air Show again, this is a picture of the Blue Angels commander preparing for take-off before their performance. All six pilots were in their jets with an assistant to help with flight preparation and to get them in their flight harnesses. Many people were watching so I had to hold my camera over my head to try and keep most of the crowd out of my shot. In Lightroom, I did some exposure adjustments and cropping. Topaz AI was also used to sharpen the image. Pentax K-1, ISO 100, 210mm, f11, 1/800 sec.

Congratulations on a great final image Jay. I like your technique to get camera position, I've used the same many times. Your processing has provided great colour and your cropping has given us all the information we need. A great story telling image. Posted: 12/12/2024 02:34:35
Very nice. Good choices in cropping. Posted: 12/19/2024 21:15:28
Jay, nice use of the Rule of Thirds and the horizontal use of it. Nice and sharp. If I were to nitpick, I'd tone own the blue in the clouds a tad. Very well done, kudos! Posted: 12/21/2024 14:52:35
