19-JUN-2005

Taken yesterday, this was as close as I got to the 'crossover' shot. They were going somewhere ~500 mph, and the split second of the crossover was too fast for my eye/finger coordination.

Added mostly Canadian Snow Birds tonight, here: http://www.pbase.com/kleaf/quonset_point_air_show

Canon EOS 20D
1/500s f/9.5 at 70.0mm iso100 full exif

I can't believe the sharpness. Super action capture. You pushed that shutter at just the right moment.

I like the crossover of the line--you can imagine it better this way.
Neal Nye21-Jun-2005 02:20
This is almost better than the instant they cross over because it gives a greater feeling of speed. I like that white line arcing across the sky.

Looks pretty close to me! Were you on "motor drive", Karen?

You did well to get them at all at that speed, Karen. The wide blue yonder really applies here.
