Not my daddy's air show pics
Earlier this week I was woken up by some extremely loud afterburner sounds. These cool pilots were practicing for the air show this weekend at the base just 2 miles from where I live.
My dad used to take us to air shows when I was much younger. I got my love for photography from my father. He gave me my first 35mm Minolta the Christmas of my senior year.
I decided I should take the kids to the air show since they got such a kick out of seeing them practice.
I remember the photos my dad took at air shows....they were mostly blue sky with a speck of black somewhere that was either a plane or perhaps a bird you could never really tell. And there were A LOT of them. That much I'm sure I got from him. I took close to 350 shots with my new zoom lens before my battery died (next time I'll know to bring the extra battery in my pocket). We had a blast.
I like to think my daddy would be proud of my photos today.

cool pictures! I got my first 35mm camera when I graduated from High school, and I've also been taking pictures ever since.
These airshow ones are great!
Awesome!!!!
I think I took over 200 when we went to our air show. I really need a zoom lens, though.
That sounds like so much fun!!! I'll have to get out to one. I want to go now!! :)
Are you in S.A.?
Those photos are awesome.
Yep, I've lived here since I was three. My dad was in the Air Force for 28 years.
I didn't realize you lived so close to me!
My hubby is working there this week in fact.
Small world. :)
That is awesome!
