The Feeling of a Flyover

I've really enjoyed processing the photos from the Blue Angels flyover. After thinking about the images and the actual experience, I tried creating an image that conveyed the feeling rather than the literal viewing of the event. Here's one attempt.
And thank you to those who explained the lone plane as being the videographer of the event. The pilot of that plane must have an amazing view of the experience!
To get a sense of how fast they were going, and why I needed to use 'burst' for the shutter speed, here's a collage: https://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2020-05-14

This is a very special capture. Something very gentle about it, despite the power behind the aircraft.

The trails from the front ones really give the feeling of speed - the little video plane looks positively sluggish :!

This is a whoosh with a smile and a wow! Just how it makes me feel when I see displays like this. Absolutely thrilling and can't keep the smile off my face.

I can't imagine how exciting it must have been to see them from your height- it's pretty awesome to see them from the ground! Great shot.

Very nice processing and action shot!

[Lois]

Love your image!

[Junko Y]

you can feel the speed even in this still image -- and yes, I can see why you made it glow!

question: did you have to use a tripod? this is an awesome shot. our snow birds did their flyovers during mother's day and i think they're out west now.

ps - i looked at your exif and i would assume you used a tripod as you used your 600mm.

[Taffy]

@summerfield No tripod as I had to move too quickly to capture them. The lens got very heavy by the end of it!

[Richard Brown]

Nice to see this in the TT! Easy fav for me :)

[Vesna]

Congratulations on TT!
