High Speed Turn

Panasonic DMC-G1, Nikkor 200mm f4

I like to catch pictures of the Blue Angels flying by with vapor trails during high speed maneuvers. In this one, you can see the vapors just above each wing.

This was taken on Saturday. Gail and I were out there with Dan, Lea, & Tyler. Unfortunately, it was so crowded that we split up while catching a bus from the Fillmore District down to the waterfront, and we lost Dan for the rest of the day.

They put on quite a show Warren, nice catch. I hope you enjoyed it. Too bad the race course was farther out than when I went in August. With all of the spectator boats it was hard to see the actual racers.

It was a great day, and testing out two rolls of film, woohoo! I'm dropping them off today so I'll be able to post a few here later in the week! Hope it worked!! ;D

The trails look like ribbons. The plane kind of looks like an insect at this angle. The top being its legs. and the belly being its bulging eyes.
