Good morning Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all today is some more shot's I took of the Blue Angels in practice in El Centro California. What I have here today is seven random shots that I like, so I hope you enjoy these, adding more and more to each post to get through all these shots is always a good thing. The one thing that still amazes me about these in the air, are the way the colors and reflections change so much, from the skies, to the plane etc. Such a great time and moment for me and all I can think about is doing it again and again. These shots I have today, the top one the cover, I really couldnt decide to be honest, so this one it is, I like the color, a bit more natural looking as the aircraft is hitting them G forces for sure going up. In the second one below another cool one with the colors changing but come on guy get that smoker on, Haha. Still a cool one with that detail as the Sun reflects off the jets.

In the next one it clearly is hitting them G forces again, these are the shots you really want to capture, as well as getting the thrust out the back end, those were a lot tougher and they were always further away to get that quality shot.

Another cool shot, with a different kind of edit, that older look with the corners blacking out.

Another shot here hitting them g forces going up up and away. Love shots like these with the cool clouds within the sky and the air trail off the sips of the wings.

We got another one hitting them g forces, and its another cool looking shot, seems I get more of the bottom of the aircraft while doing this than the top, I suppose it is where I am located on taking these shots.

Now for the last shot here, its probably one of my favorite ones here and really should be the cover, the reflection on the bottom of the jets is stunning and to be able to capture it like this is what its all about, all shots like this really do have the dark looking sky as well, this is epic to me and to many of my photography buddy's, they were amazed to see that reflect in such a way where it looks scratched. Anyways, hop you enjoyed this post today, appreciate all of you and to all have a blessed one.

Fabulous shots bro! That last one was pretty epic. I love all the shots when they look this good. I don't think most people realize how tricky these kind of shots are!
