Cleveland Air Show Pics - EM-10MkII & 100-300
9

Pics below from a hot, quite hazy day at the Cleveland National Air Show on Monday.

My new EM-10 MkII got a real workout and held up beautifully in the heat.

As frustrating as the lack of a focus limiter is on the 100-300 and amid all the focus hunting, I did manage to get a few good shots

I primarily used the 9-point focus box and L speed sequential. It was very difficult for the 100-300 with the low contrast, hazy mostly cloudless sky.

Processed from RAW in LR6 after having used ExifToolGUI to change the Model Name to EM-10 from EM-10MarkII in the .orf files (because LR doesn't support the MkII yet).

The Harrier jet hovering.

This shot of the Oracle bi-plane cutting the ribbon is a .jpg shot while taking video.

The Thunderbirds!:

Are all the pics showing up for you? I'm not seeing all of them unless I click on one to open the gallery view.

They were all there before I clicked "Post".

Thanks! Those are the USAF Thunderbirds. They normally alternate years with the US Navy blue Angels at the Cleveland show.

Are they all showing up for you in the OP?

I've found with Air Shows , the EM10mk1 and the 100-300 best results come from single AF , shutter release set to after focus has been achieved and then mashing the shutter.

Used this way there's not much focus hunting although a focus lock would be lovely.

Continuous shooting modes and action shots have never worked for me although they clearly did for you

Great shots.  I think the Thunderbirds make for better pictures than the Blue Angels.  Well done

Well captured. Never an easy subject to track, you have done well....and you have an air worthy Harrier over there as well. We are not so lucky this side of the pond.

Regards,

Bob
