Seafair Airshow 2019: US Navy Blue Angels

Shot the Blue Angels performing on Sunday from the top of my condo building. This year, I benefitted from both the autofocus speed of the Fujifilm X-T3 and the reach of the XF 100-400mm ƒ/4.5-5.6 lens. The result was being able to actually see into the cockpits during some of the low passes around downtown. This is also without the 2x teleconverter installed, whose 2 stops of reduced light gathering would have slowed down the shutter speed to being nearly unusable.

Air Show! Seafair in Seattle means the US Navy Blue Angels are here to put on a show.

I decided to climb up onto the roof of my condo to catch their second practice on Thursday. The weather was shit, so they practiced their "low show," a flight demonstration that is performed mostly below 3000' MSL, so I got a lot of opportunities to get close range shots.

For me, summertime means Obon Festival

Every year when I'm in Seattle, I do my damndest to attend Seattle Buddhist's Obon Festival and this year was no different. It's something my family has been doing for as long as I can remember and one of those cultural touchstones in my life that reminds me of who I am. This year however, I decided to give myself a shooting challenge by limiting myself only to shutter dragged shots as a way of emphasizing all of the action, movement and colors associated with Bon Odori.
