Journey ~ CTQ - Killer birds Part 1

First of all, ‘Journey ~ CTQ’ means ‘Journey ~ Completing Texas Quadrilateral’. This is the name I gave to the 3 day road trip I had with friends from 30-AUG-2014 to 1-SEP-2014.

Visited USS Lexington at Corpus Christi, Texas. My first visit to a war ship. Quite a good experience it was.

Saw some great fighter jets on the deck.

Wanted to shoot these planes as if they are completely prepared and about to attack. Wanted to show the power and so shot with this angle.

Journey ~ CTQ -- In person with the war power : Part 1

Man I have a lot of work to post :P

Talking about this pic, I bought a canon 10-18 mm wide angle lens just before this trip and this shot is one of the picture I took from that lens. Loved the lens like anything. The wide angled lens always gives you proper drama for the pic.

The thing I like about this pic are the far extending clouds.

By the way the pic was taken just outside USS Lexington war ship at Corpus Christi, Texas.

Corpus Christi was the first place we visited in the Journey CTQ :)
