air show 1

2009.07.25





Just catching up. This really tested the limits of my little point and shoot. I really needed a nice DSLR with a honkin' lens as demonstrated by one of the other observers. :)

This was an evening show, and i will be posting more in a few hours. There was a storm system coming in that limited a few of the demonstrations and provided a beautiful ever changing sky. It was a great time to sit with friends, food and a couple of bottles of wine.

I forced the contrasts on some of the pics to really show the patterns.

Jarvo Great pictures of the sky writers. I've tried taking airshow pics, it's very difficult isn't it.

bedazzled Ha ha I always have the same feeling..but you did well with your camera, the patterns in #2 and 3 came out really well..

revenant Nice shots, explanation and demonstration. Here (and elsewhere, I suspect), size does matter. I recognise the 100-400 lens wielded by subject in the last one. I bet he's a got a very small....

dontblink I was going to say I wish I had the 100-400 lense but thought better of it after Revenants comment. :) I really like #2!

eternity65 :-)) Revenant could be right :-))
like the shots as they are, and as Jon said, it's easier said than done. I haven't been to an air show for a while, as they stopped doing them here, but i used to love it.
