Practice Makes Perfect

Today was the rehearsal for this weekends air show at the beach. WHAT ???? I know right !!!! Hello ... Pandemic Calling.. LOL Although I arrived early this morning to rain here the skies cleared and it was just beautiful. I spent the day on 39 street photographing and catching up with a fellow photographer and friend. 39th is just about at the end of their run. It was easy the social distance from this spot but a lot of the action is happening a good distance away. Will I try and get closer this weekend ... Time will tell . Dam pandemic !!!! Yes, this is why the U.S.A. is still losing to co-vid. Having events that draw big crowds....IMO
I backed myself up to the dunes so no ones closer than 50 feet from me except my girlfriend and even though it looks like these sunbathers look close it's the compression of the lens. They really are further apart then they look.
Clear skies for a nice show. Great shot. The planes look good, the beach people.........;-)

I’m jealous. Our Sept. air show on the beach has been cancelled.

Amazing they had the airshow! Glad you could see it safely. The planes are fantastic.

Beautiful beach scene with the planes as a bonus.

A super photo. Impressive to catch the people on the beach and planes so high in the air practicing. I have heard that the shots like this have been used to show the lack of social distancing because of how the camera treats it. So were they distant enough or not?

@grammyn yes they were but I'm 20 blocks from show center. I really don't think it was a smart decision to hold the show. I'm still shocked they did.

@lesip I used to have a boss who said common sense isn’t all that common! I can’t tell you how many times he has been proven right! All we can do is take care of ourselves and stay away from those who are not smart enough to do the same!

It's a nice shot to show the beach level and the planes. That's not always easy. Cool shot.

As Anne noted - nice to capture the beach viewers and the planes

Nice shot. Our airshow was cancelled. I like that you wonderfully captured the people, the sky and beach scene, as well as the planes performing overhead, and I am glad to hear that they were actully further apart from each other than the photo suggests. Fav
