This week was Fleet Week in NYC, and I took the opportunity to get some practice with my camera. Patrol Boats Passing Lady Liberty USS Roosevelt Passing Lady Liberty USS Vella Gulf Passing Lady Liberty F18 Flyby V22 Osprey Flyby USS Iwo Jima Cobra Helicopter (I'm most proud of this shot) Canadian Ships Docked at Stapleton Pier, Staten Island
The shot of heli is basically perfect, just slow enough to blur the ends of the blades. Love it The rest are so-so , more just documenting the craft rather than really standing out as being awesome photos. But I love the heli shot
Thanks. That's what I like, though - clean, simple shots. With it being a bit hazy all week, and children running around all over the place it was difficult to get anything really eye-popping. I got lucky with the Cobras since they took several passes, allowing me to try different things. I don't like how they came out with higher shutter speeds so I forced it down a bit and crossed my fingers. Surprisingly, this shot had great contrast as well, so I'm quite pleased with it as well. Could be better, but all in all, I love it too. =)
