      Re: Thunderbirds Over Waikiki

      A big thanks to all of you for your reports and photos, especially since I couldn't get over to that side of the rock this weekend.
      One month until the Blue Angels are right here in my front yard... woo-HOO!!!

      That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

          photo one oh one or what, it is a fine shot. We were near this guy who had a nice Cannon, and then this wahine in a leather hat, some kind of ID and all kinds of photo gear came by...my husband, who works at The Advertiser, said that his paper doesn't use Cannons so maybe she worked at the SB? Anyway, this guy with his little EOS CLEARLY had camera lust. I almost called him on it!
          That sounds like Cindy Ellen Russell of the Star-Bulletin.

            Had the chance to see the Thunderbirds flying and soaring above me at Sand Island Park. It was amazing.

              I think the guy was using the cameras as an excuse to look at CER, as she is quite a fetching young lady.

                Excellent shot. Your timing was perfect! And you got all 6 of them to boot!

                I was shooting with a 340mm lens. Nice close ups when I can keep up with them, but it also means there's no sense of "place". My shots probably look like anyone else's from the last 10 cities they performed at. I'm going to have to remember that for the Blue Angels. Nailing the rainbow tower has a great sense of "place" and shows just how low they were flying.

                    Good shot. Your first one seemed a bit noisy. Cropped or high ISO? What lens are you using?

                    Also, I can't get your link to work.

                    Edit: Duh. I figured out the link problem. "www" not "ww". Don't know why I couldn't see that. Too busy looking at the other end.

                        My bad on the link URL. Somehow during cutting and pasting I dropped one of the w's...

                        As for the lens I used, Canon 70 - 300 UM zoom with image stabilizer all shot at 400 ISO with an aging Canon 300D. The photos I post to flickr and other websites are lo-res images and not the originals which I keep all to myself. And the one with the F16 in flight was cropped from a higher res original.

                        BTW thanks for all your comments on these. I've enjoyed looking at all of the photos posted here. And if you are interested in more photos there are many excellent shots (not by me) on Flickr.com. Just do a search under "Thunderbirds Hawaii" and see what comes up.
                        I'm still here. Are you?

                          What do you consider lo-res? I saw at least one shot on there at 2048 x 1360. That's good for at least a 4x6 at 300dpi. Probably not too shabby 8x10.

                          Oh, man. Some really nice shots. A couple of guys even nailed the two solos crossing. No one seems to have gotten the sneak.
