I had an awesome time this past Saturday, shooting photos with 10 other photographers down in San Diego at the annual Miramar Air Show. I've shot quite a few air shows in the past, so I'll keep the repetitive "look, an airplane in the sky!" photos to a minimum. Here are the creative, artistic moments and images that actually seemed new and fresh to me...
Enjoy!
All images were shot on a D300, with either a Sigma 50-150 for the telephoto images or a Nikon 24 AIS (manual focus) for the wide angles. All images were shot RAW except the first 2 which were JPG, and all were processed in Bridge CS3. I spent just a few minutes editing the whole set. More images will be uploaded to my Facebook soon!

(Sunrise. My car was parked in this line for about 40 minutes, the line grew to be 3+ miles long...)
(The Jet Truck. Flippin' sweet!)
(I know most people won't get this, but, "nom nom nom!"...)
(This was a 30 second exposure, taken from a tripod. The airplane moved, and cars also drove through. And the clouds moved.)
(30 second exposure, at 150mm)
(By the way, if you're wondering- This was an airplane with fireworks and sparklers attached to the wings. Crazy!)
(The obligatory fireworks shot... Yay.)
(...And the "Ahhhh we're all gonna die!" Wall-of-Fire shot...)
(It's a safe distance away, don't worry. Still looks like Armageddon, and you can FEEL the heat from 100-200+ yards...)
(I love f/16. And no that's not an F-16 Falcon, it's an AH-64 Apache. I'm talking about the starburst effect.)
(...Too bad the bright lights weren't behind, cause It would have been super cool to get a head-on shot...)
