Every year here in Seattle the city goes crazy and they have “Hydro” races and air shows and lots of drunken boaters tied up to a giant log boom in Lake Washington.
This year amazingly enough we were in town and invited to a friend’s house on Mercer Island. He had a pretty good high view of the Blue Angels airshow and a couple of us trained our cameras on them. Since it was a clear day, they mostly flew high and far, so my pictures were little dots. However near the end they flew RIGHT over us and I managed to keep my wits about me (the noise is something that will rattle even the sturdiest of souls) to take a somewhat in focus well framed picture. The picture is a litttle noisy, since I was shooting a high ISO to get very high shutter speeds.
