Fine Art Portfolio | F-22 Raptor The F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, single seat, twin-engine, all-weather, stealth, top line fighter. It always gives an impressive performance. The F-22 Raptor’s stealthy shape makes great contour lines that contrast nicely against the background.
The Back Story How do you capture a F-22 Raptor taxing? This image was captured at Oshkosh while laying on my stomach. The 70-300mm zoom lens makes it easy to adjust focal length as the Raptor taxis down the taxiway. Remember, 125mm with the 2.7 crop factor of the Nikon 1 V3 converts to 338mm. For the whole story with all images, see Remembering Oshkosh | a 7 Image Story.
