Well, this weekend headed to San Diego for the 2006 Fleet Week Sea and Air Parade.
Had a opportunity to shoot from a fidderent perspective. My GF cousin is in the Navy and stationed in San Diego. His station as LTJG is aboard the USS Ronald Reagan a Aircraft Carrier based in Coronado.
Well, needless to say we go aboard the Ronald Reagan and I shot from the flight deck of the carrier. There were some flyby's and ships sailing by.
This shot is a composite of 10 images stitched together of the USS Nimits sailing by at less than 5 knots... Couldn't get the whole ship in one frame so improvised and shot a panorama instead.
Set camera to manual and checked exposure, shot 10 consecutive shots handheld. Converted to 16bit TIF and stitched in Panorama Factory. had to make some manual adjustments to the shot, but I think I got it right finally..
