Jimmy rolls out on landing after expending thousands of pounds of fuel on the course.
This shot is an example of how the automatic metering will work fairly well when the subject is in the same lighting as the background.. i.e. not a brightly lit sky as background.
(note: since shooting at this event, many lessons taught by our photographers, Neal Nurmi and Sue Petersen have sold me on NOT using auto exposure settings. I shot several rolls of film at an airshow held in Portland, Oregon a few weeks after this session.. all done on manual settings and my results were much better. We will feature a gallery of images from that show at a future date, with images by myself and Sue Petersen, including some great shots of the Blue Angels)
