Good morning Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all today are some new shots, new shots and the most anticipated metal bird, the F-22 Raptor, these shot are from the MCAS Miramar Air Show and I had just a great time. As I have said before the light, the air quality and fog or should I say overcast was delaying the shot but we got stuff in and I was a happy photographer. This metal bird here, this F-22 Raptor is one of the main reasons wanting to go, to get images of this aircraft was just a must for me. I am sad a bit for not getting this one again over at the Huntington Beach Air Show do to the marine layer basically making it a no show but at some point I will get over it. I have heard that sometimes these F-22 Raptor's are supposed to go up but then they don't. This time their was two parked as they were getting ready to fly one, crazy because the first one this pilot got into, drove it all the was down the air strip, and drove it right back. Parked it and they said that he had to get into the other one, which means that one wasn't ready to go, must of had some issues but all good because the second one sure did go up and I am amazed what this pilot can do with this aircraft, it really is something else and a sight to see. I have plenty more shots of this metal bird, which is it probably my favorite one of them all, as for many that feel the same way. Now lets get into these shots I got for you all today. The cover shot, the one above is my favorite of the three, hints the reason for being the cover shot of the post and day. Love the vapors this thing gives off, its fast and when it hits them G's it is exiting, not to mention the sound. Very loud and just all around one of the coolest metal birds every made. In this next shot below, almost the cover and maybe it should've been but the sky color goes crazy back and forth while taking photo's. I have light blue ones, all the way to dark blue, due to sky and sun but it sure was fun and this shot right here is awesome too.
In this last shot here, its a solo shot that I had to throw in here, seeing the thrust out of the back is so sick, wish that I could've capture more color on some but all good, more like this one is coming too as this is my favorite metal bird to show off with the images that I got with my camera. I will try hard to get to more shows in the future and I do have a free ticket to the next years Huntington Beach air show since it wasn't really a show, they gave it to us, which is cool. Anyways hope you all enjoyed these, have a blessed one and thanks for stopping by today.
