Wife and I spent the past couple of days out on our boat up in Washington D.C. for the July 4th military flyover and fireworks.

Little did we know that when we anchored the boat, we would literally be directly under the flight path of the aircraft.

While this made for an amazing experience, it also made for challenging photographs.  It's really hard to get exposures correct when you are shooting straight into a bright sky.

Anyway I am pretty pleased with the results, hope you are too.

Oh, one more thing....   'MERICA!

Unfortunately the judge did not accept this plea at my last court appearance  about the incident in the local park?

Wouldn't be July 4th without some fireworks.  Sorry for the instability...holding a DSLR on a rocking boat can be challenging...

That is the B1 Bomber also known as the lancer.  Supersonic bomber, have seen it do loops and other aerobatics at air show.  Delta swept wing bomber...one of my favorites.

That is also,it right after the A10's from the rear with afterburner kicked in.  That thing is a loud beast.

Sounds like you need to stay out of the park when doing 'exposures' Rob  ?

This is really cool.  I understand these are all 'private' fireworks as all the big events were canceled.  ?

I love the fireworks sounds dubbed in....I don't know of any drones that capture audio.  lol

Excellent photos!  I really like those WWII planes.  It is amazing they can keep them in good condition and flying.

I love all the jet/planes. We used to have the jets and the bomber show up to all the air shows here and they were awesome. I wish we could experience what the US does to celebrate holidays. So colourful and awesome. Thanks for sharing. Gave me goose bumps.
