You must have a personal relationship with the Blue Angels. Or you are jsut very knowledgable. I am enthralled in this album. I thought I got some great shots, but you defintly have a faster snapper than I do...

I just recently attended A Blue Angels airshow here in Idaho, last month actually..I dont remeber how I found your page, but I am sure glad that I did. Seems we have photography sites in common. I hope that you can stop by my page some time to see the sunsets and sunrise photos and the Airshow photos I have ... I hope that you have a great day, and God Bless You..

Stupendous album!!! You have some amazing shots of these incredible jets. I doubt that my son will ever become a pilot as he is afraid of heights. It would be cool if he did become a Blue Angel pilot while in the Navy...

Hi Ted, I just had to comment on how sincerely brillent & magificant this album is and the outstanding quality of your work is inspiring capturing the Beloved Blue Angels, i,m on a flight with alot of military personal & they all looked rather lost so I thought hey Teds got 4 new albums that I thought the Guys might enjoy on route to germany, there we will catch a flight down to Iraq.. needless to say your Blue Angels Are a hit up here, for I just got my laptop back after 3 & 1/2 hrs:-))).. Good thing I have the ports so the guys hooked your album up on the cabins bigscreen and have been running this on slideshow, stopping at each shot & having amazing coversations amongst themselves, much of it went right over my head.. but I didn,t mind in the least Ted as it really makes my day to see them really talking & joking around so much that they forgot for awhile that their Iraq Tour of Duty begins very soon. I normaly use flight time for sleeping so I have more worktime when I get on the ground, but this time round there happens to be a fair few of this group that I have known from previous Tours, mostly The Dr's & others who are returning from Leave Stateside.. Justin, Peady & his friends want me to say Thank you for How much they have enjoyed this album & I,m getting the windup as They want to veiw your oak Alley Plantation Album now. So I will sign of & God Be With You & Your Lovely Amazing Faimly My Dear Friend, Until next time, Gods blessings Be apon you at all times, With Repect & Love In Christ Jesus, Always, everfaithfully Bella.

Dear Ted, J was really impressed from the fantastic photos of the airplanes that run very fast in the sky like arrows. The pilots are magic in piloting the Blue Angels. Excellent shots taken, J think, with very fast impression time. Very god job. Franco from Italy

Ted, I am impressed by your album. The Blue Angels visited our country earlier this year and gave us a great view of their capabilities, both the pilots and the aircraft. Your shots are tremendous each and everone of them ! Thanks for sharing. Guus van de Sande Jorwert, The Netherlands

It simply doesn't get better than this. I could watch this team for days..weeks...months. My Dad taught me love of airplanes. And nobody does it like the Blue Angels.

Well I just stopped by to say hi and see if you made it back. Little did I know you'd already have such a special treat waiting. Hot diggididarn, Ted! Absolutely awesome, incredible shooting! You've got this down to a seemingly effortless artform! Spectacular and thilling to the last shot! Congrats cajun buddy! (Interesting thought just occurred to me: this is probably the first (and only) time I'll know all the hornets'in the nest by their names??:), :D.)Have a fantastic day, my friend! Marita

Hello Ted, this album waited for me quite a long time, I was busier than usual and also wanted - at last - finish an album I was working on for the last months. And I am not at all pleased with the outcome :-(. I looked at this album a few days ago, just before running to work. I shouldn't have done that! I arrived at work VERY late that day, because I got carried away by this album. . . . .!!! Your pictures are all so amazingly in focus and never ever got the tip of the wing out of the picture. I cannot get a whole cat in a picture and you make it look easy to catch those birds when they reach top speed. Okay you use lenses that can show the man in the moon, but the man in the moon does not ran away . . .eh fly away! And with those tele-parts of the camera it is not so easy to follow those birds. I get almost seasick when using my poor zoom! :-) I see you had a wonderful day out there - and for sure many nights editing all the pictures you brought home! I still do not know what is your connection to all those birds. Did you ever fly one of those? In some of the pictures it seems they were taken from above the bird and in flight, like in the first picture for instance. How did you do that? Have a wonderful weekend! - Galit

Hi Ted; This is a wonderful album. I had the chance to the Blue Angels when they were in San Francisco for fleet week (you may want to check out my album). I never tire of seeing the Blue Angels perform. Thank you for sharing this wonderful album. Joyce, California

Ted, what a beauty you have created here! It is not just magnificent, it is poetic! Just when I thought one could not do better than the NAS Airshow album, you pull this one out of your hat! This is just magic! Just as I wrote last time, I am amazed at the way your pictures are so well centered considering the high speed with which they fly. My compliments to the gallant men in their flying machines! My compliments to you for bringing us this masterpiece of aviation display. 100/100!!! Best wishes, Suresh

Ted, I know how you were looking forward to last weekend and your trip to Pensacola. God sent his sun to shine on the day and you have shared your experience with all of us - thank you! I cannot believe you captured (and TITLED) all those photos and there is not one duplicate shot - that is fantastic! This is a feature waiting to happen ... Warm L@dybug hugs, Judy, mid-state Florida

Ted, This is an amazing album of amazing pilots. Your pictures and photographic skills are just as awesome as the aerial skills of the Blue Angel pilots. WOW. Your captions are perfect for each one. Hope this album gets the recognition it deserves. Thanks for showing the world America's best. Carol, Florida
