Re: Airshow settings, tips and advice

Thanks all for your advice. The airshow came and went and i got back with about 1300 photos to go through…got 50 keepers. Glad i bought another 64gb sd card as i ended up shooting in uncompressed raw. 8fps worked just fine. I kept the camera in manual mode with auto ISO and was switching between a lower shutter speed for helicopters and a higher SS for regular planes. The polarizer was always on, so i don‘t know how the photos would have looked without it. The 70-300 with the 1.4TC, at f8-10 produced wonderful results, at least to my eye.

here are some results:
