It's all about the timing and the volume.

Yesterday I met up with my local dogs Jim Patterson and Josh Cripps for a quick shoot at Hole in the Wall beach.
The light was great for what felt like 30 minutes or so. Coupled with the low tide and exposed rock made for some easy comps. It also helped that there was some nice cloud cover.
Wishing you all a safe and happy holidays.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
Took a stroll in the park with my 2 year old grandson, ‘armed’ with bread as fuel for the seagulls, besides having a close look at these airborn acrobats. I shot some video clips with my iphone, and I was so fascinated by how precisely the pieces of bread were picked from my fingers, but also that I didn’t recognized this at the moment the piece of bread left my the fingers.
This pic is a single frame from the video.
Other frames from same session here:
Just about here is where it starts in the process of whether the landing will be the result of a carefully executed plan, ha.
The French "precision" camera Foca type PF2B "two-engraved stars". Constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) likely in 1956 or 1957, a late series of the PF2B range-finder 35mm Foca camera.
The camera is equipped with the OPLAR lens (Zeiss Tessar formula) 1:2.8 f=5cm and an Olympus PS200 electronic flash likely of the mid-70's. This flash belong to my Olympus OM-1 MD camera kit and is here connected to the synchro Foca port using a shoe-cable accessories. The Foca could synchronized only to its slower speed (1/25s or less) since the curtains fully open only at that setting shutter timing.
A couple of good precision cutting photos I discovered:

It's hard to tell where one plane ends and the other begins. I keep saying this is the last Blue Angels shot I will upload...but I keep finding more. My daughter has accused me of using AI to generate my photos. I swear to God I have not!
...two qualities I love to give to my work.
...I'd love to manage to be fast and effective but I will under no circumstances do reductions in quality.
...friends and family call me Mrs Slow and I guess I feel a little guilty for needing too much time sometimes to complete some things, but at least - even if to the last minute - my work is done in schedule and I can be happy and proud of it at the end, while having enjoyed each and every second of the process.
...and now if you'll excuse me, there is - more - work to be done ( and I don't only mean the shop)
so, I'll engage into commenting and chatting later :)
Hope you are spending all lovely days!
P.S:....you guessed right, a deadline is running today and I need to submit some work.
U.S. Air Force Fact Sheet THUNDERBIRDS
Mission
Officially, the Thunderbirds are known as the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron.
The squadron’s mission is to plan and present precision aerial maneuvers to exhibit the capabilities of modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill required to operate those aircraft.
Within this broad mission, the team has five primary objectives: − Support Air Force recruiting and retention programs − Reinforce public confidence in the Air Force and to demonstrate to the public the professional competence of Air Force members − Strengthen morale and esprit de corps among Air Force members − Support Air Force community relations and people-to-people programs − Represent the United States and its armed forces to foreign nations and project international goodwill
The Team
The Thunderbirds squadron is an Air Combat Command unit composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel performing in almost 30 job specialties.
A Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the lead and opposing solo aircraft highlight some of the maximum capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
The pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a demonstration. The entire show, including the ground show and air demonstration, lasts about 75 minutes. The season typically starts in March and ends in November, with the winter months used to train new members.
Officers serve a two-year assignment with the squadron, while enlisted personnel serve three to four.
The squadron performs no more than 80 air demonstrations each year and has never canceled a demonstration due to maintenance difficulty. More than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries have seen the red, white and blue Thunderbirds jets in more than 3,500 aerial demonstrations.
In addition to their responsibilities as the Air Force’s premier jet demonstration team, the Thunderbirds are part of our combat force. If required, the team's personnel and aircraft can be rapidly integrated into a fighter unit at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Since the aircraft are only slightly modified, they can be made combat-ready in less than 72 hours.
F-16 Fighting Falcon
The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon represents the full range of capabilities possessed by the Air Force's tactical fighters. This highly-maneuverable multi-role fighter has proved to be one of the world's best precision tactical bombers and air-to-air combat aircraft. The only modifications needed to prepare aircraft for air demonstrations are a smoke-generating system and painting in Thunderbird colors. Additional information about the F-16 can be found at www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/1....
History
The Thunderbirds were officially activated June 1, 1953, as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit at Luke AFB, Ariz. The unit was nicknamed the “Stardusters.” Their first aircraft was the straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet, a combat fighter-bomber that had seen action in Korea. Early in 1955, the team transitioned to the swept-winged F-84F Thunderstreak.
In June 1956, the team moved to its current home at Nellis. At the same time the Thunderbirds traded the veteran F-84 for the world's first supersonic fighter, the F-100 Super Sabre -- an aerial platform that would serve the Thunderbirds for 13 years. More than 1,000 demonstrations were flown in the Super Sabre, thrilling spectators around the world. In 1964, the team changed briefly to the F-105B Thunderchief, but an in-flight mishap revealed a problem with that airframe’s design. So, after only six shows, the Thunderbirds returned to the F-100.
From 1969 to 1973, the Thunderbirds flew the Air Force's front-line fighter, the F-4E Phantom II. In 1974, the Thunderbirds converted to the T-38 Talon, the world's first supersonic trainer. The T-38 was more fuel-efficient and less costly to maintain, which made it an ideal choice during the oil crisis of the 1970s.
Early in 1983, the Thunderbirds reinstituted their traditional role of demonstrating the Air Force's front-line fighter capabilities. Transition to the F-16A allowed the team to retain manpower and fuel efficiency while demonstrating to spectators the latest in fighter technology.
