The delta pass is pretty sweet, that is a cool angle of never seen this before

Thanks.  That was from Friday's show.   You don't see the angle much because it is from the top of an 18 story co-op apartment building.  It's probably a 1/4 mile further back than the piers at Ft Mason, but the tradeoff is you get to look down at the jets much of the time.  This year I had a 300 f2.8 + tc17 so the distance wasn't much of a problem.

Friday Sneak pass from above


Sunday sneak pass from sea level--Golden Gate YC

Love the shot of the Superbug with the strobes going off and illuminating the vapes.

I was able to attend this show on Sunday, Oct. 10th.  It's certainly a unique venue and presents a photography challenge due to the distance and the hundreds of boats.

Here are a few of the highlights:
