RF 100 - 500 Visits Blue Angels Air Show (SF October 9)
4

Here are several photos taken at the air show on Saturday (Canon R5, RF 100 - 500). They have been cropped and edited to taste. All were shot handheld, standing in the middle of a spectator crowd. Of about 500 shots, less than 10 were out of focus. Most shots were ISO 800 using a shutter speed between 1600 and 5000.

It's probably not your fault, but the posted image at the larger size is full of artifacts, which frankly I don't feel the R5 nor 100-500 tend to produce as I have that combo and haven't seen that as yet. If you were say PP in the likes of Adobe I certainly could understand why I'm seeing what I'm seeing as well.

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.

It seems something in wrong.  They seem to grainy/artifact-y to me too. Do you really need the extra EV on them? Have you done any post processing on them? I get much clearer shots on birds and airplanes (not air shows) using that same combo (which is my main, but not only) rig.

Thanks folks. I've been on a business trip and have been off the net. I'll check to see what happened. On my machines, things look OK--but I will try to get to the root of the problem. I output standard JPGs from Lightroom to Dropbox with minimum processing and they looked fine to me and to friends to whom I sent the direct Dropbox link. Stay tuned.

And the alerts from both of  you are much appreciated.

The 3090.jpg shot is my fave.  Love the composition and colour of the F18's with their yellow highlights against the blue sky.
