New Orleans Air Show...
Mar 25, 2024 21:46:00 #
Spent the last week prepping for the annual air show... this is the first year I actually attended the thing so watched a few Youtube videos for hints re: aircraft photography... discovered I need to work on my panning and that for prop planes, 1/125 should get a full "prop circle" which looks nice. Several of the prop planes last weekend had "were props"... that is, the props can't be photographed at 1/125; they disappear. And, yeah, I'm not too proud to use an occasional free cloud download to rug over a bald or sparse background.
These were all shot with a 70-200 f/2.8. The first two days I used a 200-500 and appreciated the reach, but most images were a tad soft due to my poor panning at that focal length, and 30mph winds beating on my back. I'll work on those images when there's time...

The cloud formations are positive contributions to these birds. Well done!
