The Blue Angels are once again in San Francisco and performing at Fleet Week 2007. I always enjoy photographing the Blue Angels as its a real challenge. If you’re in the San Francisco bay area the Blue Angels will be performing at 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Wow, those shots are insane! What are you shooting with to get so close? And how the heck did you get that last shot? It looks like you were flying side-by-side with him.
Brian I have several more that are on par with these. I’ll be posting them in the coming days. As for the perspective of the last photo… it’s all about position and knowing their flight path. 🙂 The effect of looking like I’m flying next to the plane is amplified by the clouds in the background. If only I could get a ride in one 🙂
Indeed, nice camera dude. I need to step my game up from this cheapskate point and click that Im using.

Wow! Great timing – great shot.
Plug1 thanks for the link to your photos. It’s always a lot of fun to try ones luck and photographing the Blue Angels.
Thanks Ron. It’s a challenge to get things to come out well. It worked out this time around 🙂
Nice series, Jim. I bet a lot of planning went into this shoot!
Sherri… Thanks! You are correct a good amount of planning went into the shoots on Fri, Sat. and Sunday. Previous scouting helped lay the groundwork for each day of the event.
