    ...but not by much. ;)

    This speeding, banking F-16 was taken at a local air show, and was so much easier than photographing birds!

    Thanks, Harold. It was taken at Stuart. I was lucky enough to watch the show from a secured area, away from the crowd. The planes kept their distance from the spectators, but came around at a close bank from where I was. It was sooo awesome.

    Hi Gus. It was really close- I used a 400mm. This is full frame, with just a sliver shaved off the bottom, and a sliver added ahead. I have many images where I had too much lens.

    We were at the other side of the field, just in front of the airport hangers. It was especially good because the sun was behind us.
