Lightning Strikes

[Desert Rat]

Something from the upcoming Planes of Fame Airshow. The show is May 4-5.

This was shot during media day.

Despite a very rough turbulent flight I got some decent images. Had to shoot through the plexi of the photo ship and the subject aircraft was a bit backlit.

I was shooting this at 1/100 at F20

I also had a gyro stabilizer attached to the camera which definitely worked.
