US Navy Blue Angels High Speed Pass, Colorado Springs, Co., August 17, 2024
Price range: $699.00 through $1,099.00
In stock
One of the more difficult photographs to capture at any Blue Angels airshow are the high speed close approach passes.
Even with the very best equipment, getting a shot with both aircraft in the same frame is largely a matter of luck, given combined closure speeds approaching 800-900 miles per hour.
Taken with a Canon EOS 1DX Mark III Digital SLR using a Canon 100-400 mm Zoom Lens, only one plane is likely to be sharp, even at 1/4000th of a second at a firing rate of 14 frames per second!
In the five years since the Grand Junction Air Show the Blue Angels’ aging FA-18 Hornets had been swapped out with the newer FA-18 Super Hornets seen here. In the same span of time, my original Canon EOS 1DX was swapped out with the Mark III model, giving me upgraded resolution and two frames per second extra firing speed.
