Arctic Camouflage is Great

The Black Diamond Jet Team are a rare commodity in our skies inasmuch as they are civilian owned. During the 2012 season they are fully sponsored by United Bank Card, Inc.  Thank you United Bank Card, Inc.

The Arctic Camouflage is a very bright scheme albeit in black, white and grey, but to me as a photographer this is a gorgeous paint scheme as it simple cries out for black and white images.  When I was photographing the team at the 32nd Florida International Air Show the sky was providing the perfect back drop – bright blue sky and beautiful white puffy cumulus clouds – a perfect compliment to Arctic Camouflage when converted to black and white.

I am pleased with the color renditions of these images – but for me the black and whites are just gorgeous.

What do you think? Why not watch the short slide-show below and let me know?  Thank You.
