New Orleans Air Show

[Pmurtagh]

I went to the show in Belle Chasse (outside New Orleans) this weekend and was able to get some pretty good shots. I wish I would have read up a little more in terms of the prop planes and shooting at a lower shutter speed, but you live and learn.

By far my favotire shot of the weekend.




Need to take the B&W off this one so you can see the prop swirls going behind it.

Wow, these are so good Pmurtagh. Excellent captures of the condesation from the wings. and the prop one too. I am currently working on the new American F35 Lightning II so I fully appreciate these super photographs. It is not always easy to get this good a shot with the speeds these aircraft move at so well done mate Great work.

Thanks guys. It was a long fun day. I'm glad a lot of them came out the way they did. Will be going to the air show in Pensacola in July to get some better shots.

I tried to take a picture of the blue angels when they went supersonic, but by the time i whipped around, it was already gone.

That's so awesome. I can't wait to see that one in the air. Its the replacement for the F-16 right? All I know of it is it looks a little like the F-22, but has the singe engine?

These are sooooo cool. I love the first 2. But they are all very very nice. TNX for sharing them.
