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

other sizes: small medium original auto

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

Great shot. The clouds add to the effect here.

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?
Linda Willets21-Jun-2005 01:53

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