Blue Angels Scott Air Force Base Photograph by Tom Atwood |
A good photograph is usually the result of a good photographer, not a good camera. But this picture of the Blue Angels needed a camera that could freeze the F-18's as they flew past Scott Air Force Base at speeds of up to 600 miles per hour. Not a great camera, but one that has adjustable shutter speeds. This photo was taken with a Nikon D60 using a shutter speed of 1/1000 second. The image is detailed enough that if you enlarge it, you can even read the name of the lead pilot under his cockpit window:
Capt. James McWhorter.
Shutter: 1/1000; Aperture: f/7.1; ISO: 200; Focal length: 145 mm
