Description

The Blue Angels photographed at Armed Forces Day, Washington, DC in May 2004. Photo taken with a Nikon D100 and Nikkor 100-300 zoom lens, settings unknown. Image processed with saturation, unsharp mask and levels in Photoshop CS. To correctly frame the image and get the very tip of the lead aircraft in frame, the leftmost tenth of the image was created by duplicating sky elements as well as duplicating the nose tip of a rear aircraft onto the lead aircraft with Photoshop CS.
