Location
I captured this image in Seward Park, Seattle Washington. I was surrounded by fellow airshow watchers, five feet from the lake, on a grassy hilll.Time
Afternoon, right as the airshow began.Lighting
It was harsh and nearly cloudless, so the blue angels were the only feature in the sky.Equipment
Nikon D90, 18-135 nikon lensInspiration
I saw the seagull, and it almost seemed to be trying to keep up with the jets, which i thought was so awesome. Lady luck was on my side, as i framed the photo around the seagul just as the jets where coming into view.Editing
this was my first year of photography, so i used lightroom, and i think, i little too much, what with all the contrast, clarity, and shadowing bars moved all the way to the highest they could go.In my camera bag
Nikon D750, sb700, 50mm prime, lens cleaner, polarizer, extension tubes, water, and a remote.Feedback
Look up panning and autofocus techniques online. Dont be a fathead and assume you know every feature of your camera and that the manual is for losers.
