Good morning Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all today are some new shots, new posts of the United States Navy Blue Angels but what is really cool about these is they are from the actual Air Show, not just them practices I have shot and shown them images of. What I am going to do this time is post about five or six shots, with the black and white images too, as they will be random this time but they will all be in order of the show, as well as when I captured them. Except for the cover shot, that will be designated for the top shot in my opinion, so lets get into these shots today. I got five shots here today on my camera roll and the cover shot, the one above out of those five is my favorite. I think that this is the shot they aviation photographers are trying to get while they are doing their demo, I am not sure if its spot on or not but seeing that I got this, was very nice to get in my opinion. Two Navy Blue Angels, one up and one down, as it is almost perfect as they were one metal plane. You can tell in this shot, the number 7 plane is a two seater, as for the 6 plane is only one pilot. I think their is only two, or one two seaters in the flight group but not sure to be honest. Regardless I am happy I got this at this moment, because if I would've only gotten the shot after this, in which I did not even edit, it would've been a bummer. In the next shot below, I do forget the name of this maneuver, but their is one where they are extremely close and they don't always do it but they manage to get it I assume when the conditions are right. So I am not sure if this is it and they nailed it but a cool shot regardless.

This shot right here is when those same for metal planes wrapped around and then split off, wish this one was a bit better but still cool to post here today.

This shot here, they got back together with all landing gears down, like this one but I think I made the edit to dark, oh well lets keep it pushing, still a nice shot.

This shot right here would so be the cover shot but it is a major crop and to be honest way to far out to even shoot but for me I keep shooting no matter what, I really enjoy shooting and I hope to get them shots after shots. This one is a bit hazy, the weather, the smoke, the sun etc made it tough and then the major crop but its so cool. The vapor trails starting, the vapor trail off the middle and then you get that big orange jet engine blowing at you in this image. If their would be a shot I would love to get to perfection, it would be this one right here. Another day though as for now this is what I got. Many more shots coming asap, I'm going to keep hitting down these metal bird posts, so I hope you all are not getting bored of them, I for one love them and want to keep showing as many as possible to all of you. Thanks for taking the time to view my post, appreciate it when you all do, have a blessed one.
