For goodness sakes Jay - I did not know you were doing G2A portraits

Tremendous captures.

Thanks Jeff...

Great shots, Jay!

You should definitely send those to Teresa.

Awesome detail in those shots, Jay. Looks like it was a good day!

@ Chris: I'll be sending these plus a few more. Thanks...

@ John: Ended up being a short day but these made the trip worthwhile.

Eyes On Target

No way you were that sharp at that focal length on something traveling that fast, that close to us, while panning diagonally. What do you eat for breakfast?

Unfortunately, that's an extreme crop (approx 80%) of the frame after the one above that shows more of the airframe.

The web is the only place this image will ever live as it has far too few pixels to ever be printed beyond 4x6.

Another backlit BMGR shot. Closest I've caught the 30mm round to the muzzle so far:
