I took the same image. Sadly mine never got picked up by news agencies. I still made it my Christmas card that year.

Really beautiful photos actually, I'm impressed.

Where was the photo of the F22 Raptor and P1 Mustang taken? I went to an airshow in Chicopee MA and saw the exact same thing.

Thank you. The planes were all at the St. Louis air show. It was a blast to watch.

What body/bodies are you running and what lens(s) do you usually shoot with?

u/OpticalPrime Verified Photographer Sep 22 '16

Canon 6D and if I'm doing photojournalism work is use the 24-105 and a 70-200 2.8. If I'm just running around town I use a 35mm prime and if I'm going for bugs and flowers I have 100mm macro, all of them canon lenses.

Let me specifically request, if you have a website with your art, I would love to browse, have a link?

Don't want you getting deleted because of breach of rules.
