Re: Saturdays pics
Beeea-uuutiful sunset pics Victor! As I was heading over the Sierra's Saturday evening I saw the sky lit up just like that and I was thinking what a great backdrop that would make if I was in the pit area. Glad somebody was there to capture it.
It was great talking to you and Bill on Friday.

Re: Saturdays pics
Hey Rick, It was great to see you again.Originally posted by rpzo
I was having dinner in the AAR hanger and I could see that the sunset was going to be a good one. So I grabbed my camera and ran out to get some shots. I realy wanted to get one with Sept. Fury but the security guy wouldn't let me... ARG!!! (Wanted to set up a shot like the one of Argonaught)Comment

Re: Saturdays pics
The sunset photos are killer. I have to plan to stay late one day next year.
Now Howard's Sea Fury, I see you stuck the 1.4x on the 100-400, 1/80 sec!!!!, I cheated and viewed the EXIF data. I never got brave enough to stick the converter on and try manual focus. It's hard enough doing that with slow race cars, let alone on a plane doing 400mph.
Did you crop the Dago shot? If not you were pretty damn close. The EXIF says only 295mm??Comment

Re: Saturdays pics
Hi Tim,
Nice to meet you!
I'm real glad I got that 1.4x. I think I have a bit more faith in my manual focus than the Canons auto.
The Dago shot was cropped some not a lot though.
The 1/80 sec stuff was experimental. I shoot my regular shots between 160 - 250 and then go for a few around 1/80 a LOT don't come out but the ones that do look real interesting, I love that feel of speed you get when shooting that slow. That's what I love about going digital, if it don't work hit the delete button.Comment

Re: Saturdays pics
With a 10D, 20D, or digital Rebel you have no choice but to use MF, when using the 100-400 and 1.4X combo. Only the pro Canon (digital) bodies will AF at f/8.
As a side note, early user reports on the 20D say the AF is light years faster than the 10D/Rebel at f/5.6. This makes it real tempting since the 100-400 is f/5.6 at the long end.Comment

Re: Saturdays pics
If that exif data on the yellow nosed P-51 (Crusader?) is true then you must've used a tripod to get 1/25th! Great motion blur on that and I can appreciate the prop blur on the rest of the flybys too. Excellent job overall and a real artsy set of sunset shots. Sure beats the crowded daytime shots that are most of mine. Thanks for sharing. BTW, are you using an IS lens? I think that along with tracking AF can only help minimize my shutter speed to achieve sharp pics with good/great prop blur. Judging from my results and location from the pits, I think I'll need at least 600mm!Comment

Re: Saturdays pics
I shot everything hand held that day, used a monopod on Sunday cuz I was getting tired as well as very cold.
I was using a 100 - 400 zoom with is (not on all the time) and most of the time I was using a 1.4x adapter which meant going to manual focus.
Thank you for your coments, I just do this for myself and to share with others like you. I'll have more shots up in a day or two.Comment
