It's Plain To See

I could use some practice when it comes to plane shots!

Heritage Flight training out at Davis-Monthan AFB here in Tucson.

The Air Force Heritage Flight Demo Team has been in town for a few days making some practice runs and getting ready for their 2024 season.

They've been buzzing the house all weekend so I decided to get out and (try to) get a couple of shots. Shooting planes really isn't my thing as you may know so any shots I did get weren't all that spectacular. Add pushing my lens out as far as it will go while trying to track a jet and you just have to accept what you get.

A plane silhouetted against the sky can be a bit boring and there just aren't many places where you can get a bit of background to go along with the planes to give them some sort of context.

If you're interested you can check out their website:
www.airforceheritageflight.org/about
to learn more about the foundation, their mission, planes, and pilots.

I've never used any of the presets on my camera (landscape, sports, evening, etc) and this might have been a good time to try them out. Looking back I probably should have used the "S" to set a quick speed and let the camera worry about the rest. Get the shot then look at the meta data after to learn what settings to use. Or maybe this is a fair use case for "artistic license"? Yeah, I meant for this to happen!

BTW, this is really the shot I'd like to get Explored!
