Point Mugu Airshow (August 7, 2010)

Bassett1976

I don't post very often but I was able to attend the Point Mugu airshow yesterday and wanted to post a few shots.

Many of these photos have been cropped, auto color corrected (I'm not that great with photoshop), and removing a spot of every one of my pictures (I guess I should really get my camera cleaned). I have a Canon Rebel XT and was using my 70-300mm zoom.

The conditions were not very good. The cloud cover was really bad for much of the morning. Eventually the gray clouds started to move out and became more white in color. The sun was very close to the action during the later part of the day.
