The Lima Lima Flight Team and ITF Photography
There are a few blog people I follow who are the photographer types. Like deepbrew and Benji Mast, for example. They’re always taking artsy photos and posting them on their blogs.
I look at them and think “I can do that.”
So here I am.
I saw the Lima Lima Flight Team recently at the air show in Goshen. I caught their night show this time, I had seen their daytime show several years ago. Pretty sweet outfit.
Got these first three pictures from their website, I didn’t take them myself. I’m posting them so you can tell what the Lima Lima Flight Team really looks like!
Some really tight formation flying.
Anyway, I thought I would try to take some pics. As you can see, I’m an astounding photographer! These next three are mine.
Actually, I thought they turned out kind of cool. Completely unrecognizable, but cool.

Totally cool… I love it when I find a very good laugh…
THose things could pass as modern art maybe you could market them….

I actually do find myself liking especially the last one of your pictures! Well balanced, good composition, nice contrast, neat color effects, not totally static–leaves me wanting more! Maybe abstract photography will be your next job!
The second picture reminds me of some guy shot out of a cannon.
The first one–well, you had to start somewhere.
Invest in a tripod–and you might have to upgrade to a DSLR.
I loved the post, being somewhat of a photographer wannabe myself. I’m still grinning!

The wiggles are impressive. Hard to do without degenerating into meaningless squiggles. Cheers.

When I saw the first two pictures, I was like “Wow, I would be quite proud of those myself.” Then I read further… :)
The following three qualify only for abstracts I’m afraid.

Lol! Pretty cool! They look like my firework pictures, but still cool, none the less. :)
