Behind The Lens

Location

Taken at the Laramie County Community College Campus parking lot on College Avenue in Cheyenne, WY.

Time

Thunderbirds air show takes place around 8 a.m. during Cheyenne Frontier Days.

Lighting

Lighting during the show could be difficult because the planes were flying directly in front of the sun at times. We were lucky to get a mostly clear sky.

Equipment

Shot with a Nikon D3200

Inspiration

I am always inspired by the Thunderbirds, their commitment, service and patriotism are wonderful symbols of our freedom.

Editing

Post processing for this shot only involved sharpening the image.

In my camera bag

My bag always has my camera, extra lenses, a flash, extra SD cards, cleaning brushes and accessories in case the Wyoming wind whips up and decides to throw some extra dirt or dust my way, an extra charged battery or two and a battery charger.

Feedback

Most shots with aerial shows are pure luck, always lead the subject so you aren’t behind the action and getting a blur and take multiple shots so at least one can be your masterpiece.
