Blue Angels
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 10:26PM We did not really enjoy the blue angels show this year as much as last .. but did get a few great pictures with Alcatraz in the backdrop.
Last year we could not find parking and were outside the city hall. This year we succumbed to the city fleecing and paid a good 30 bucks to park near Pier 39 so we could watch the planes go between the Pier and Alcatraz.
The crowd was overwhelmingly a "smoking" crowd and there was nothing we could do. If it is one or two folks you can request them to kindly move away, but if it is a group of 15-20 people around you lighting up, what do you do?
You hope the show gets over fast and you get a few good pictures!

and my favorite.. a shot that was accidentally taken by tracking the planes towards the sun. Managed to salvage it using the HDR toning utility in photoshop that gave this a cool effect!

Next year we watch them live on TV!
