9/04/2021 Nikon D200 Soup | F-16 Fighting Falcon

Nikon D200 Soup | F-16 Fighting Falcon  The F-16 Fighting Falcon Demo Team put on a spectacular show.   For more soft sepia images, see Soft Sepia Aircraft | a 7 Image Story.

The Back Story   After they completed their flight and just before capturing this image, the wall of fire bombing reenactment happen leaving the nice smoke background.  One of my most difficult challenges at air shows is getting a decent background for images.  Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
