Blue Angels, San Francisco Fleet Week 2007 – Part III

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

More Blue Angels photos from San Francisco’s 2007 Fleet Week performance. Today I couldn’t resist trying my luck one more time photographing the Blue Angels during the last day of their San Francisco performance. With the benefit of getting the best positioning possible, the press area, I was able to get some other wise unattainable photos of the Blue Angels. Enjoy…

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment. I had a blast photographing the event. I'm glad I got some decent photos to show for it.

Tom I never thought about the 50's quality of that one shot. I think you're right. :)

Jamie I only received your comment at 7:07. If there was another I did not receive it.

Rod contact me via my contact form and I'll be happy to work with you to get a print.

Jamie

Did you get my comment ?

Tom

Dang Jim, you nailed it. I love fat albert with alcatraz in the background, beautifully crisp. The "men behind the blue angels" is great too, it really reminds me of a classic 50's shot. Thanks for capturing this for all of us who passed and wish they didn't now.

I especially like the one of the #5 on the edge of the sound barrier. This is something that you don't see very often...except at SF Fleet Week. With the moisture in the air from the bay, you get some great images as the pilots dance just on this side of Mach.

Great catch!

Awesome shot of the F-18 skimming the water! We were on a boat at the west end of the zone cleared by the Coast Guard. I lost track of #5 until he was nearly touching the mast on our catamaran. The scene was of sheer power and adrenaline, and you did an excellent job of capturing it!

How can I get a copy?
