    The sound of freedom is rattling my windows right now. I live close to the airbase and the Blue Angels are practicing their routine.

    Whatever happened to military discipline? The Blue Angels started about 30 minutes late. It was an overcast day, very hazy. And I was generally pretty far away from the aircraft. So, heavy cropping, and generous use of the SportsShooter extreme sharpening to get anything at all.

    Sid, I love the angle, it's really difficult to get a different take on an airshow shot. thumb.gif

    Thanks! I was far from the airfield, hoping to get a shot that put a plane into close proximity with a building. The people were an unexpected bonus. It's B&W because the hazy weather makes the color version look brutal.
