About It was overcast, and (as usual) almost raining in the SF Bay today for the qualiying run for the air races.

There were only a few runs before the pelicans, and rain ended the afternoon.

There were a few planes out on the track/bay, and against the overcast bay, I thought that it looked like a great chance to try a minimalist image of the air races. I'm amazed that there even a few good shots from today, as the bay was socked in with fog.

Thank you Michael! ...you were so right, push the saturation... don't be scared. :)

Howdy Doyle..

Just got home, so here attached is a 1:1 crop of the Hamilton #7 Air Race plane. Amazing how grainy it is here, but the print is glass smooth...gotta love it.

Have a great weekend, and thanks again for the comments!

off to play with the lens! :)

cheers,

Thank you Doyle!

Ya know, I think this is a case of JPEG vs. RAW. I'll post a crop later when I get home, but in my printed version, and the RAW, I can see the pilots hands on the stick! The prop is frozen from the speed, and even though the distance was there, that plane was hauling!! It's the first time I locked the IS on the lens to a single direction to capture it clean.

Thanks again for the cool comments and suggestions! ..and for getting the song "Danger Zone" stuck in my head! :)

cheers,
-Joel

Good shot Joel and the contrast between the plane and the BG sky is perfect. I can read Hamilton 7 on the right wing and H7 on the nose but . . . to my eye the clarity could have been better. Perhaps a bit faster on the shutter speed since the aperture would have supported it light-wise. From this distance panning wouldn't have been an issue . . . I'm thinking perhaps handheld? Don't get me wrong . . . it's a good shot . . . and your open sky feel works well on this one. All-in-all . . . it's a very dynamic capture and thanks to you I can't get that Kenny Loggin's song "Danger Zone" out of my mind now!! LoL!

Fun lens my friend!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Joel,

The weather certainly was perfect for the show - unfortunately, I couldn't make it down there today. Driving around, traffic was a real pain. I can't imagine going down there on Sunday lol. I might hop a ride w/ a friend though, so we'll see. Looking forward to your pics from today :)

Wow... so sad about Rashed. He and I had many lengthy chats about our photographs.

Thanks for the link pops!

I'm sure you can see, the weather is *perfect* today! :)

The ships roll in from 11 to 12, the races are at 12:30, and the Blue Angels are out again at 2:30!

hope you get a chance to get down there!

Hi Joel,
Good to see you were able to capture some photos from today. Although overcast, I like the simple approach to this shot. Sometimes you have to work with the weather and make the best of it and you certainly did. Nice work.
