Description
::: Part 31 of a series of Warbird Photos :::
Taken at Hawthorne Airport (Jack Northrop Field) in Hawthorne, California (August 14, 2004)
Shot is of the Boeing F/A-18D Hornet from VFMAT-101 'Sharpshooters' squadron. Here the F-18 is making a high speed pass and banking sharply. The result is the vapor clouds forming around the plane, and the way the sun was angled (lower than the plane) it gave a very interesting shadow on the vapor clouds. So many things in this picture look wrong to your eye, but it's a real image!
Camera is a Canon Rebel EOS 300D DSLR (6mp) with a Canon USM IS 100-400mm lens. Image was reduced in size, no color or exposure alterations.

Some postwork in Photoshop would bring out the details. Don't let the lighting get you down, for all corrections can mainly be made in postwork. It is an excellent photo with better potential to be had. Great work!

The dark lighting of the F-18 is fine with me, I want more of a stark contrast between the F-18 and the vapor. Get the F-18 too much more brighter and you'll lose some of the vapor. So I'm quite happy how it came out.

allright velocicrapper, that's cool with me. And yeah, it even gives the impression that it is breaking the sound barrier.
