First Attempt at Airshow Photography

5/22/2022

Comments

 
In this slow return to photography I have decided not only to take photos of nature, but I also want to try other styles. With this in mind, I decided to attend my first airshow. I confess that I had never encouraged myself to go to one of these events and I don't know specifically the reasons for not having done it before.

Shooting aircraft in flight is not as easy as one might think. There are many technical aspects to learn and master in order to achieve impressive photos. So I decided to do some research on the subject and watched countless videos on You Tube to get a solid foundation and prepare for the big day.

I confess that I took a lot of photos and as expected, the vast majority of them did not turn out as expected. I definitely have a lot to learn about this new form of photography. At least I was able to capture several that were more or less decent and I share one of them below.

I hope you enjoy it.

SUNRISE EXPLOSION

10/2/2015

Comments

 
This one I took while on a 6 AM flight from San Juan to JFK, New York. The conditions were perfect...we just cleared some clouds during the initial ascent to reach cruising altitude. Also, I was sitting on the right side of the aircraft and was lucky enough to see the sunrise.

I shot this one with a 50mm lens with no filters attached to the lens, and that's the reason you can see a lot of sun flares that makes a pretty dramatic "sun 
explosion". Enjoy!!!

93/365 A NEW BEGGINING

12/17/2014

This picture I took a bit back while taking a helicopter ride to the metropolitan area of Puerto Rico. It was a rainy morning and we had to fly above the clouds to avoid the storm. As we came down the sun rays started breaking throught the clouds making it a unique way to a new beginning. Enjoy!!!

EARLY MORNING FOG FROM ABOVE

3/23/2012

Comments

 
It is no secret that Puerto Rico is one of the most beautiful places on this Earth. The tropical weather makes it a perfect location for all year round vacation spot. Most of the beauty of Puerto Rico is located, in my humble opinion, in the central part of the island. We have beautiful mountains with cristal clear waterfalls. One really awesome view is the one you get to experiment in the mornings and has to do with the early fog. 

In this photo you can see, from a vantage point, early morning fog in the town of Cayey. It was taken from a helicopter trip all the way to San Juan. Enjoy!!!

CERRO LAS TETAS

3/19/2012

Comments

 
Nicknamed Las Tetas de Cayey, but officially Cerro Las Tetas, and also Las Piedras del Collado, are two mountain peaks located in the municipality of Salinas, Puerto Rico. Since September 1, 2000, the peaks have become part of a Puerto Rico Natural Reserve and are protected by law. Their height is 2,759 feet (840.94 meters) above sea level.

The peaks are so named for their resemblance to a woman's breasts. The word "tetas" is colloquial for "breasts" in Spanish, much like the English word "tits".

A common misconception is that Las Tetas are located in the municipality of Cayey. Las Tetas are actually located in the municipality of Salinas, in Barrio Palmas, a ward on the northwestern part of the municipality of Salinas.


Despite all the facts, everybody calls them Las Tetas de Cayey.
