Photos from the Vault – Shoot #1a

This is the first shoot I’ve processed for new content to post under “Americana” Not all images I post here will end up on my Americana page, but some will. I can’t go out to shoot yet, so I’m living vicariously thought my own images. If I try hard enough, I can make myself feel like I’m seeing them again for the first time. Plus I get to apply all the new techniques I’ve learned since the first go round. Let’s see how this looks.

The Blue Angels

Fleet Week in San Francisco 2018

I think I like it. 😊

EDITED March 23: Yuck. When I finally checked what I posted I nearly barfed. You can edit 10800 pixel wide images down to 1024 pixel wide images and not have some quality issues. Talk about pixelated. Double Yuck. I am resizing and I’ve curated the entire shoot this time so the gallery will be a little larger. I still haven’t picked which go to the gallery page. Come on! Vote.

I had every intention of filming some videos. I couldn’t remove my finger from the trigger until after they stopped coming back. I have hundreds of great shots, lots of near repeats so I was bound to get a lot of good shots. I was strong then too, so holding the beast steady wasn’t such a task. Sigh! I did have the perfect perch on Treasure Island and I came during the week for practice flying. No clouds, no crowds, plenty of parking – perfect in every way – actually not quite perfect. I only caught some of the formations. They didn’t do a lot the day I was there besides getting a feel for the area. They buzzed me a quite a few times on Treasure Island. Good Spot.
