About Saline Valley is a hidden treasure of the Death Valley National Park mostly famous for its hot springs and naked girls, but I like it because of the low flying military aircraft. I tried this new location to catch a few. It took me only two days of waiting to get this shot

Hello Gianfranco. I am not a pilot. I take these images standing with my both feet on the ground. If You are interested in details please e-mail me at tytus44@hotmail.com

Io sono appassionato di aerei. Mi piace molto. Sei un pilota? Saluti dalla Valle d'Aosta Italia. Gianfranco

You are definitely not in position to dictate the conditions, Mirek, but you are quite as definitely in position to take advantage of them, just as they are. This is what this image tells. Each and every condition can turn to the best possible conition if one keeps on consciously trying again and again, as you said. Many name that "if you got wrong you get right next time", and many would call that "studying". It is pretty much the same to me.

There is no reason to stop trying to get something right, even if one knows that it will never get completely "perfect". (Whatever that might mean.)

So, on this one I really find that you managed to facilitate the harsh(est) lighting to your own advantage. Much like turning the disadvanteges to virtuesm which I think might also be one of the very keys into good photography.

Cheers!

Nick

Thanks Nick for Your detailed comment. I know the lighting is harsh, but I am in no position to dictate the conditions. When they fly I take a picture no matter where the Sun is. Persistance is the key. Thank You for stopping at my gallery and for looking.

One of the very best images of modern aircrafts I ever saw here, Mirek. Really remarkable for the contrast that you managed between it and its background, despite the fact that it must have been so hard in all possible disciplines. The good details but in this case also the hard reflections on the plane's surfaces really paint it as it should be - a flying speedy metal thing. The nose, the intakes and the fuselage kept all the very typical shape of the Hornet and those two ruders make it just about perfect. The canopy with perhaps not much but still a little bit of a visible pilot adds also a touch of strong reality to that good timing that you applied.

A very realistic one! I am not a fan of those planes as "military machines" but rather as representants of such good aerodynamics. Their element is just... thin air. Remarkable!

Worth the wait! I thought you were in another plane's cockpit. To echo Wolf Zorrito's comment, definitely cool. Congratulations. Ronald.
