Shot hand-held with my Xacti HD1000 under some pretty bright conditions. Had a hard time trying to stay steady and zoomed most of the time. I started trying to site down the barrel of the camera to get a better idea of where I should point. The screen just couldn’t compete with the strong outdoor lighting.

Edited in Final Cut Express with a moderate amount of correction to some of the camera shake (time to invest in a good plugin).

At about the the 1:28 mark you’ll notice some vapor cones (Prandtl–Glauert singularity) showing up a few times around the body of the F-18 that was flying by at just under the speed of sound. Didn’t notice it till I was editing the footage. 🙂
