There are only a few things that can top a chance to spend a morning with a great sky photographing airplanes. Clad in my bright yellow ramp vest to avoid getting run over by fuel trucks I got up close and personal with this F-15. I photographed it with a wide angle lens to take in as much of the sky as possible and I got low and up close to the plane so that it was large in the frame and so the wings didn’t hide the peaks in the distance. Even at 1/25th of a second I got a nice sharp image because of the image stabilized lens.
