Inbound (Explore #55) - a photo on Flickriver

            U.S. Navy Blue Angels on initial approach to San Francisco during Fleet Week 2023. I had an idea for a different kind of shot this year which required multi-modal travel over 2 days. Miguel D and I scouted the flight path from the Tiburon highlands on Friday, then hopped the ferry Saturday to grab this shot from atop Angel Island. We charged up that hill with intent and were never really certain where the jets would pop out. My body aches today and it was all for just 1 or 2 keepers in all, but why not?

This is the DFA 15-30/2.8 (at 30mm) on my crop body. A little editing and cropping, etc. The exact location including elevation(altitude) was recorded by the camera's GPS and embedded in the EXIF if interested. 

Hope you like it!
