Location
The photo was taken at Quebec City, Canada at the 400th Anniv. of Quebec Air ShowTime
Taken on 6/13/2008 at 21:10Lighting
The sun was setting.Equipment
The photo was taken with a Nikon D300 camera body and Nikon 70-200mm VR f/2.8 lens. The setting used was ISO 400, 86mm at f/3.2 with a shutter at 1/40s.Inspiration
The Blue Angels C-130, Fat Albert using JATO takeoff with the rockets against the setting sun makes for a unique photo. The slow shutter speed allows for full circle prop blur.Editing
Process from Nikon NEF raw file in Photoshop with minimal processing.In my camera bag
Currently my camera bag includes Nikon D4 and D810 camera bodies. I have the following Nikon lens: 12-24mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm VRII f/2.8, 200-400mm VR f/4, 105mm VR Micro f/2.8 and 80-400mm VRII f/4.5-5.6 plus Nikon TC 1.4 and 2.0.Feedback
Unfortunately the Blue Angels no longer do JATO takeoffs with the C-130 so capturing this image again won't happen.
