There were several folk with dRebels, but I only saw one beige lens besides my 70-200 f/4, the guy in 1611, 1612, and 1614.
I never could figure out what the aluminum foil was all about except maybe it's holding the flash together?
What's the deal with everyone who has flash units? "Oh, he's compensating~professional, he's got some juryrigged doohickey on top of his camera." They're not going to be very effective out on the flight line, nevermind in the bleachers. Maybe there were a lot of indoor exhibits that would be difficult without flash?
unless of course the guy with the jet assisted Waco is there.I wondered that myself, Ed. I certainly didn't use mine. There is a hanger with other planes and exhibits, but I just used available light on the few I took inside.
Oh, no, I didn't see the stealth. The show was supposed to be Saturday and Sunday, but Saturday most of it was washed out. That must have been the day the stealth was there because it wasn't there on Sunday.
...thanks for the great suggestion. Maybe others who aren't experienced at this sort of shooting, like me, will find it helpful, too. This was my first air show with my 10D, so I kept forgetting about that. I did remember to do it on a few of the shots because I read in one of the threads a while back about the prop freezing at higher shutter speeds. I did switch to Tv mode and dropped down to 1/160 and 1/200 when I remembered. Hopefully, I'll keep that in the back of my mind for all the times the prop is turning next time. Thanks.Some nice pics, my only suggestion is for you to shoot TV instead
of AV. Some of the props are stopped on flying aircraft.
Shoot TV @ 1/400 for prop planes flying and on take off. Prop
planes idling on runway or when landing at lower rpms, 1/250. Jets,
1/1000 or whatever, no need for prop blur on them
course the guy with the jet assisted Waco is there.

Isn't that the point?
I took my 10D to an air show today. We had a blast. We got to
meet lots of other people with cameras. Here are a few:
Oh, and there were a few airplanes, too. They can be seen here.
Enjoy!

Any insults, implied anger, bad grammar and bad spelling, are
entirely unintentionalal. Sorry.
...thank you and I certainly enjoyed looking through your site; nicely done! I am going to go back and crop some of the shots that need it. I had close to 250 shots that I had to download, adjust, edit, and resize. In the end, I was rushing through them because it was getting late and I was tired. I'll definitely go back through them and follow your suggestion. Again, thanks.

...what else could it be? Didn't you notice the awestruck woman? grin Actually, there were some exhibits in the hangar. That's probably why.He must be compensating!!! What's with the 550 for when the planes
are way out of reach???
