R5 goes to airshow
45

This weekend we had first serious airshow herer in Poland after pandemic break, so I've decided that it will be good occasion to test my R5 and 100-500 in spotting. 
I had also possibility to borrow the RF 1.4x extender, which I found pretty good - no signifincat quality loss. The only thing that was a bit problematic was the lock on 300-500 range. 
Some of photos were taken using electronic shutter (just to test how the rolling shutter really looks like)

I'm generally pretty happy with results (still lots of photos to process).

Br, Pawel.

Wonderful collection.  Any piston warbirds?

Absolutely gorgeous shots!!!   I would love to have the opportunity to shoot them with my R5.  What was the focus setting you used?  Spot in the center?

Re: R5 goes to airshow

Wow, these photos are great!

I have not seen too many aviation photos from the R5/100-500 combo, so thanks for posting these. Looking forward to buying the R5 and see how it plays with my Canon 300 f2.8 IS II and 1.4x, 2x extenders.

Almost all of then on center wide AF.

To be honest, on over 3500 photos taken maybe there were one or two with missed AF.
Much more with motion blur - but this is matter of technique and luck

Thank You all for so nice comments.

I've just putt a bit bigger set of photos from AeroBaltic 2021 Airshow on my webpage, for those interested: https://pawel.online/aerobaltic-2021/

For me this is also a new workflow - all photos processed with DXO Pure RAW and LR combo.

Best regards, Pawel.

Re: R5 goes to airshow

what setting do you shot at manual? auto ISO?

what about AF settings?

TIA

"The fact is that relatively few photographers ever master their medium. Instead they allow the medium to master them and go on an endless squirrel cage chase from new lens to new paper to new developer to new gadget, never staying with one piece of equipment long enough to learn its full capacities, becoming lost in a maze of technical information that is of little or no use since they don't know what to do with it."

Mostly I'm using auto ISO with Av.

As for AF in case of airplanes on airshows I'm mostly AF with object tracking, or expanded zone AF (mostly in the center of the frame)
