Apparently, during the filming of the 70s movie, a few stuntmen had to run for their lives, as detonating the explosives on the sitting planes made the a propeller started spinning...

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this Photo at the Toledo Ohio Air Show at the Toledo Express Airport

Time

The shot was taken in the mid afternoon in July

Lighting

The lighting was great! there was a lot of smoke that added to the scene. The view was to the south so the sun was over my shoulder!

Equipment

I used a Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera with a 17-50mm Sigma F2.8 Lens with a CPL and a lens hood. The shot was taken handheld.

Inspiration

The air show was doing a re-enactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It was narrated as the planes swooped and the ground crews let off the charges. It was very loud and realistic.

Editing

I did noise reduction, slight curve adjustment and cropping.

In my camera bag

I try to travel light. Just the camera body (Nikons Z6), lens - depending on what I am shooting I usually carry one lens, lens cloth, CPL, lens hood, extra battery, extra memory card. I try to know what lens to use and sometimes will carry a longer lens or my 50mm prime depending on the shoot.

Feedback

The Mirrorless is a little harder to follow the action. the shorter lens was helpful for tracking the planes. I also used a shorter lens because I was relatively close to the action and I wanted a wider shot to show the breadth of the smoke and fire with the planes swooping in and around the target.
