I’ve seen more f35s in the last 2 weeks than I’ve seen in the rest of my life
Plant em now for next year
Really cool shot still
don't think i've ever seen these guys actually connect until this past weekend
🫶
They didn’t connect on Saturday
Looks like they tried to but the receiver got a bit wobbly
baller
yeah they were loose
these were sunday
Fire
I guess I’m a gatekeeper 💔
Aviation photography is alot of gate keeping ngl
F22 pin
Yeah
Some guy asked me to pay him 20 to get a spot
Wild
Wasnt even that good a spot ngl
Real
It was some abandoned planed at calgary
Someone else sent the link to the spot then this dude muted him in the server
💀
this is a good deal
Real
Gatekeeping is literally what makes movements happen
If you post on your story that a B2 is going somewhere and then everyone and their mum fucking knows chances are it ain’t fuckin going
Fiee
i need to get better at framing on my edges in the moment
i would've left more room on the left at the nose of the jet, and not cut off the "F-22" text and logo on the intake cover
🫶
FIREE
i can just about count the pixels 
Phone pic
fair
I am locked on the ramp
oh?
..
...there are worse places to be!
I got out
A car went through the car gate and i followed
My first cool f18 livery
neat
Are we really just stealing my shots now 💔
Oh so you admit you took my raw and edited it
Interesting
@delicate silo Get a load of this guy
only if your raw is called Z63_9897.NEF
You renamed the file
it’s on my camera too
i think you're the one taking my shots
Hold on let me check
Lev cooking?
you can't look at mine and tell me his is better smh
Yours is better
My 2nd cool f18 livery acquired
maybe if he would work on editing his own images...
Real
god maybe i do go all the way down there if its there monday
I doubt I can get on that ramp lol
I want to watch one of em take off
Its at jet brands
estimated time of departure
Nope
I wish
I know nothing lol
I wonder if I've seen more f18s or f16s lol
We get so many
I really want to catch one of the camo navy f16s
What kinda security procedures are going on at this airport 😭
when you open the gate and drive thru ur supposed to sit on the other side until it closes to make sure no one comes thru
Ill admit I really don’t
I just slide the sliders around with no real idea of what I’m doing
You stole mine btw
nuh uh
let’s just straighten that out
yuh uh
67 and 69
Interesting callsigns today
It will never beat this tho
I was on the ramp
Leaving it
Ah
#5 fumbled
That’s not mine
real
It must be AI
aw man you got me
Least photogenic blue angels maneuver
I didnt know the door was locked from both angles and I didnt have code cause some guy let me in and left
i get tired of shooting them all wingtip to wingtip in the same exact formation that 99% of other people shoot them in
Usually there’s a code on the inside of the gate near the door
Erm
Understandable
More of a single jet guy myself
i've shot so many singles that it's also old
there are only so many ways to artistically capture a single jet with the sky as a background
I left the blue angels a bit early on sat so I could get back to my hotel and I’m in the parking lot in traffic to get out right after the delta breakout and 4 did the afterburner thing like right over me
adding more jets at least gives a bit of context
I’ll find a vid
Trash TORCHED the flighline today! Everyone out for Blue Angels practice was screaming with excitement after this EPIC flyover during the delta breakout!
Ears are STILL ringing!
908
Basically this
I wish I had my camera out
oh so cool
i gotta see the blues again
This is a crazy thing for me to say
But
I saw the blue angels do 9 full demos, 3 partial demos, and 7 launch/recoveries this year
It got a bit old by the last one
would I ever turn down a chance to see them? No
But it gets a bit repetitive
it does
at least they're not the thunderbirds though 🥀
This is what some would consider to be peak life
i'm losing track of what i've already posted here
i wish my angle was better on this one
so that the antennas weren't in the way
Yes but counter point, I can be inebriated 
Hook a brotha up
GJT '23
I got a whole nugget to work through lmao, i'd love to share
You bring a lighter tho
I enjoyed thunderbirds more ngl
Blues ruin the photos with their smoke
they seemed a lot slower paced, both in their ground routine and in their flying
I kinda of agree
it felt like "here's a pass"...regroup..."here's a pass"...regroup...
whereas the blues feel pretty constant
thunderbirds feels like the time between the diamond and solo stuff is super quick but then to the next diamond maneuver takes a bit, where the blues feels slower paced but more consistent all the way thru
I may find the tb demo more entertaining though
Blues are definitely the more skilled pilots
Some of this definitely has to do with the viper being faster and it likes to be fast, where the rhino is slower and performs much better at slower speeds
blues might be slower in airspeed, but not in performance pacing
Just need a better stubby cooler
Don’t diss on the C-21
Agree
Best looking jet at Oceana
Dropped my shutter on some of the opposing passes.
Pretty happy with the results
"A potential storm with potential thunder and potential hail"
-_-
Pluh
No roulettes for us
At least I got to sit on an active air force base runway and watch some props take off
That must be fun
It was very unique
I would rather have the whole airshow than get to do that tho
yeh lol
I went off base for the super hornet before that anyway
The media area was mint didn’t have to tussle for a front spot
Probably won’t post any other photos from it cause they were shit 💯
I was there with my uncle who has an R1
He took 13000 photos
His shutter was like tzzzzzzzzzzzz
30 photos right there
the black one (that i forgot to take a picture of) is better 🥱
yeah, i shot those at 1/500
Horrible take
you posted a generic gray jet with a flag on the tail
whoopee
The black jet is literally just black 💔
and that one is American
they all are american dummy
You’d barely know it though
Fire
crazy work
👍
thats sick
no clue why they exist but it looks cool
Where the hell do you guys live
new f22/f18 pictures every damn day
by your PFP id assume you're in europe
yes
europe has alot of stuff too
i know
I'm pretty sure Lev and cobre attended an airshow so
theres enough people in here someone is always doing something fun
as for the f18s I saw they just visit an airport alot so
yeah, lev and i were just at an airshow last weekend
and i’m going to another one in two weeks or so
And I was at another one 2 weeks before this one
@brisk hinge Let’s work on the speaker placement next year 💔
how about we work on Lev placement next year
Hm
seriously though i'm open to suggestions, what would you change? i don't know that there's much room to do anything differently though, but i'm open to thoughts
Yea I mean I don’t really think there’s anything you can do, I just got unlucky with where my seat was
doesn’t help that Oceana is the only show in the country that doesn’t allow people to stand up
yeah, it's either you make it nice for the photographers or you let the crowd actually hear the announcers
really you should just find a job in the airshow industry like me and then you get better access than anyone else
yeah, don't really think we can do that
Yea
did you have audio experience before getting into the airshow industry
i grew up around audio production, yeah. but really a lot of what i specifically do is moreso setup and teardown, packing/unpacking things, setting up speakers/stands/generators/etc and doesn't require much knowledge
you think your speaker placement was bad?
you have to be willing to work, you can't get in as an excuse to take photos. but for us, except for one or two people who are mixing the show, we're sitting around during the actual flying
my speaker placement nearly directly infront of my seats
luckly it was a few seats over
or I wouldve crashed out
skull
do you have better pictures of those speakers? i'm curious what they are
what show was that?
i do not
what show was that at?
i forget who was doing that show (not our guys), but whoever it was doesn't know how to set up speaker stands
They’re short though…
they should've spun them 180 so if they fall they don't fall towards the crowd
So maybe they do
the speakers are also pointed up which means anyone a few rows back "barely" hears
Do you guys have growlers and rhinos aboard centennial rn
they all left this morning
Are those typically waterproof
so what do you do if it rains
I’m sure they are cause they got poured on all weekend and still worked at the end
(not my pic)
Oh that’s an F
scramble to throw trashbags over them
we bag them overnight anyway though so it's not a big deal
every airshow ive been to its either rained or nearly rained
I’m sure they used that one when they made the movie, had tom sit backseat in it
you haven't been to enough shows then
they did
3..
skull
I’ve probably had more good weather shows than bad in my entire life
But as of recent it’s been a lot of rain
i guess i've only been to three this year but i have 1-2 more planned
"only"
one of those was oshkosh though
"only oshkosh"
Were ur shots from Sunday hazy as balls
😁
not really honestly
generally sorted by date
sunday is at the bottom
just got these on my site today, going to start posting them after i make one mach loop post
yeah, everything from the smoke ring down was sunday
this is not sharp 
they were rough but not enough to cause major issues
worst things about blues is the HAZE
their smoke is SOO BAD
actually no this is wrong
i'm trying to figure out my website's sorting
oh, it's sorted by filename but my camera rolled over mid-sunday
Sunday was also humid so the smoke doesn’t dissipate very quick
so these at the top are sunday too
Right after takeoff
I should have a vid
Idk the low show as well as the high show so maybe it was planned
Or the flat show I guess
is this an f35B
C and Bs
ah
idk my sqaudrons lol
if it’s the short wing F-35 it’s a B
Maybe not broke crowd line but seems way tighter than a typical pass would be
if it was the thunderbirds they’d have broken
hmmmm, they definitely should've kept at the 500' line which i think was the far side of taxiway A?
there's no way they were at ?500? agl right?
I hate how lightroom now duplicates the photos when you export them in the timeline, is there anyway to turn this off
that seemed low
I’ll see if it’s in the maneuver package after I eat dinner
i'm skimming through it now
they have slightly different reqs than civvies do
being military and all
Did you say that Laz was in the brief on Friday morning
I wanna say I remember you saying that
Means he drove from his house to Oceana, drove back to Langley, and then flew the jet to Oceana
Blue angels at Miramar
Looks like setting up for the delta roll
interesting
my friend is at seaworld and sent me this 30 minutes ago
iphone camera at ?16mm? moment
not sure what he was doing at 16mm
do it
17 Pro is so good
(don't do it)
i can't imagine living without actual tele zooms
Do you have it
yeah
family member brought it to me sunday at oceana
set it up inside our trailer during the show
😭
it's so good though
Did your phone break on Saturday or something 😭
no, i was buying it anyway but it got delivered friday and i was excited for it. they were coming down anyway so i had them bring it
I have the 14 pro and the battery is just so shot on it
Rather get a new phone with the fancy stuff than replace my battery
i had a 15 pro with 87% battery health and the 17 pro is an INSANE battery upgrade
it just looks so fuckin ugly though
I’m at 82% bat health 😭
get orange 🫶
it's the best color they've made in a long time
@flint smelt what are the odds of this lol
Bring back black on the 17 and i’ll buy it.
Idk why they got rid of it
Oh they do, only for the base model.
yawn
if you're boring just get blue
if you want something sleek and professional, get silver
and if you actually like fun, get orange
Orange looks nice i’ll admit, but idk if I want to be walking around with an orange phone.
Green looks nice too.
Are we doing this again
If I had a clear case or went no case I’d probably go orange
i go caseless
I throw a case on that jawn the second I get it so it would just be black with that camera plateau sticking out being orange
get a colored case, with contrast
Do you have AppleCare
yeah
Understandable
i never once broke my 15 pro in the two years i had it
I break my screen protecter once every 2 months
I’ve single handedly ruined Best Buy’s profits with how often I get a free screen protecter replacement
thats what screen protectors are for
Yea but if you drop it on the other side
What lens are you shooting on cobre
150-600 C is my airshow lens
also have 70-200 G2 and 24-70 G2
Thats not a z mount is it
nope
i have one singular Z lens (24-70/4S) and I'm selling it as soon as i get back from vacation
Y
i want f/2.8
so i got the G2 to replace it
i'm also looking out for a deal on a tamron 150-600 G2 once i sell my 24-70/4S to replace my sigma
Fair ig
Sigma? Ya
Nearly same preformence tho right
theoretically
technically sigma could be a little better, but it could also be much worse
..
i feel like my sigma is overall fine, but i won't lose much if anything if i go to G2
Why go then
You should get the 180 - 600 hehe
(fake) OCD really

that's $1500-$1800 or i could swap 150-600s for like $200 out of pocket
Technically only 500 more than you'd be spending all ready
no
Better lens
G2s are around $750
180-600 is not 1300 is it
Is the 150 - 600 sharp ? My 100 - 400 is pretty soft tbh
they're $1900+ on mpb
i don't have complaints, i feel like it could be better but it's not awful
most of the time i'm shooting at 1/200-1/500 so most of the softness is a skill issue
At least when I used the 180 - 600 it put my 400 to shame
Why lol
Panning the sky?
low passes
You only shoot low passes then?
i shoot high passes too, but i prefer shooting with context in the background
Kinda prefer them not blurry tbh personal preference ig
i took a few but didn't like them at all so i deleted them
But i also fail to get that shot 4 out of 5 times because of my shutter speed lol
https://cobre.photos/09.18.2025-nas-oceana/
pretty much any shots of jets in the sky without ground or opposing passes are at 1/2000 here, you can see my results
that's one thing that Z6iii does so well
high speed bursts
1/2000?
My last airshow was my first time shooting 1/1600
I was impressed with the results but I am still scared of lighting
My first time shooting jets I used 1/2000 and they looked like this (bad weather)
i doubt my iso ever got above 800 at 1/2000
Iso? I don't know i use auto
me too
Aperture probably 5 - low 6
is this edited much?
Shadows n stuff
Took it last year so I dont remember too much
It falls or sum
skill issue really
there's such a small chance that exhaust haze didn't ruin that shot anyway
how do you know that, there's a speaker in the way??? 
Who put the speaker there 💔
Just get a media pass and this shit don’t happen 🤙
i was in front of the media pass holders
they still had speakers in front of them
though to the side
Supposedly has really bad sample variation
I've heard that too
You saw my speakerplacemwnt stop complaining lol
xpan or no xpan
damn yall got airshows outside of summer and spring
March-Nov is pretty typical
outside of winter we have shows all year long
but also the US is massive, so they’re not all next to each other
Yeah most people don't travel out of state
yeah
then there’s me who has been to all 50 states, and is currently on the road across the country again
fun ...
very
Bro takin pictures of airplanes on the ground 💔
im takning this personallty
#shorts
This is one of the most American videos ever recorded
Credit to: @jordanc.hughes on IG & YT!
correct me if im wrong but those look like 117s to me'
kind of my guess too with the noise
unsure what they sound like tho
they kinda just sound like an airliner lol

I’ve started a bit of a media company with some mates, would be mint if you guys would check it out
Feedback appreciated
i like it
i really do need to go through my backlog more often, there's a bunch of "new" photos in there from years ago
also a bunch of really shit edits
Was a bit of a struggle with a 70-200 but I'm pretty happy overall with the shots : D
They almost all look slightly soft, very cool tho
Have to up the shutter speed
Most of them are cropped quite a bit
I forgot my lens doesn't have IS for the props : (((
I had it at like 1/60 😭
idk why the E7 is so soft tho
What ss are the jets
the wedgie looks like its suffering from vr freaking out
1/1000
yeah ig 🤷♂️

Seems interesting
1/1200 or I just used 1/1600 for my last airshow worked well
1/500 for me lmao
La la land or something
I used 1/400 or lower for night

i have so many aviation photos i never edited
Real
I've edited <500, imported and kept around 5000 in light room and taken like 20 or 40k lol

Brick
r5ii dinky compared to this
(Idk what that is) (nikon propaganda)
r5ii clears tho
its the z8 equiv
circular vf superior

I didnt love the z8 evf honestly biggest complaint
d750/d850 tilty screen is superior
apparently z6iii best nikon one
