2008 NAS Oceana Twilight Air Show and Blue Angels
Hi-lights from the Friday night show Sept. 19 @ NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach,Va.
The weather conditions played a key role in shooting the event. The clouds and setting sun made for an interesting backdrop. Cool temps were just right for shorts & sweatshirts, a welcome alternative to the recent heat-wave this time of year.
Northeast winds had been gusting 15-25 mph the last few day, and this night was no exception. Officials cancelled the Red Devils parachute jump, and the Fireworks finale for safety reasons.
The shots I have posted here are a departure from the usual Air-Show photos ,which normally depict a brightly lit subject against a blue sky.
Each photo has it's own unique cropping and is best viewed in a large format.
If you see a photo that you wish to purchase , I can re-crop it in a standard size.
9/21- I shot the Blue Angels show from the Sky Bar atop the Hilton on 31st St. Thank you to the management for allowing access!
The Blue Angels pics are cropped for standard print sizes.

Thank you & enjoy.
