macdill airfest 2007 too..

WOW, this s%$t is hard! First time shooting an air show and exposure was a nightmare. 3pm Florida sunny day, most of the lateral fly-bys were with the sun very high and behind...aggghhh. I much prefer shooting the little birdies with wings that flap!
PP'ing was pretty tricky and I had to use a auto levels quite a bit and some adjustments from there.

heres a few that came out OK.

Eric;

Thanks for the note.
I use a D2H 300afs f4 +1.4x. settings were Manual at around 1/1000 f7.1 iso 200 or 250 for shots with direct sunlight and then I dial a stop more ISO for backlit shots so around 400 or 500. All handheld. I've found I like changing the ISO (I've used this in shooting soccer) rather than dropping ss or aperture.

This was the 1st time I noticed the sensor dust so need to read how to set a dust off image for NC4.4 to take care of this.

I like your airshow galleries.

Wade:

Thanks for the comment. Agreed I had hoped for more of them flying towards the light from the northeast.
