Nikon D300 Salad | Vapor The Chicago Air & Water Show is a really nice venue for capturing aircraft images of the Blue Angels. You can’t always pick the background, but even with these bald skies, the vapor trail provides some contrast. The Blue Angels have been performing since 1946, making it the oldest formal flying aerobatics team in the USA. For more information and images, see Chicago Air & Water | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story This image was captured using bursts of clicks while panning and keeping the subject in the finder. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
