The Blue Angels were in town last week-end. I only took photos from my back yard. Just didn't feel like fighting the crowd.

    I like the color version better but I like the 4th jet and tree cropped out. Thanks for sharing it.

    Wow, I would probably not be able to do so well as you did with these. Nice.

    Thanks a lot :D

    I usually go to the park where I have more room to focus in on the planes before they get close to me. This time tho that wasn't the case. I live in an older section of town where the houses are close, lots of trees and ugly power lines. Did the best I could this time around. I just considered it a challenge :D

    Thank you .. glad you enjoyed them. It is fun to just sit and watch from my yard, but for photo taking I learned I need to be elsewhere.

    I need to visit Dgrin more often. Nice shots Mary. I've never seen planes except for in photos. Maybe take #3 and take out the leaves but leave the 4th plane there; just borrow a nose from another plane and put on the front of it. :D

    If I would have taken them... take #1 and blur it - yep... that's how mine would have turned out.

    All that from the comforts of home. Sweet. All nice works Mary Kim. Clean sharp shots. thumb.gif
    Image 3 is really appealing how you've done it up.

    I found a good video on youtube that shows how to do a few tricks in CS5. I'll see if I can find it and send it to you.
