A few from the airshow today. I haven't shot much action in a long time so it was quite a learning experience. Also shooting with a loaned Sony RX10 so was switching back and forth. Started out shooting with several people's recommended settings. In the end switched to my old school training to some degree. Went to 9 spot focus box, single auto focus with manual and focus peaking instead of continuous focus. Didn't worry about any shots I might miss. Anticipated the action and let it come to me. When focus peaking indicated it was in focus, then would shoot a short low speed burst of 3 to 5 frames. Was a little under the weather still from medicine. (In the ER on Friday morning with a severe asthma exacerbation - darn steroids help breathing but make it hard to sleep).
Anyway, here are a few from the show including the crowds, and the Air Force thunderbirds. Very crowded and difficult to get a good shooting location. Only shot half the day, but it was a good and fun half day. My keeper rate improved as the morning passed and I found myself getting into my groove.








A few shot with a Sony RX10 that was on loan to me.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
