Behind The Lens

Location

Baltimore, Maryland. From a rooftop, during a Blue Angels Airshow

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

Nothing special since this is all natural light

Equipment

Canon T2i, 70-300mm lens.

Inspiration

I was at a Blue Angels Airshow. I took hundreds of photos, hoping I'd get one good shot. I was very lucky to be both on a roof and under a flight path.

Editing

Just some cropping and light color correction.

In my camera bag

Canon T2i, kit lens, macro lens, telephoto lens, assorted filters, back up battery, back up SD card, rain cover, business cards.

Feedback

Control your breathing to keep your hand steady. Don't be afraid to set the camera on multiple shots and track the camera slightly ahead of path of plane/child/bird.
