A boy's eye view - air show action

[Marauder61]

These two images were taken by my son Jeff, age 11.
He has been shooting with me for six years now and he never stops amazing me. He shot these with a 20D and a 100-400L. No special access, just shooting from the line like everyone else.

Victor,

Give Jeffery an "Atta Boy" for me please!

Very nice work.

I see that he has picked up his fathers ability :)

these are great shots.

Watching this type of air racing is on my list to do one day.

That's a very nice shot at 1/100 sec!


Adopt me, please! :D

Good job, nice captures. Hats off to the young man!

Oh Man if only I was 11 again. 34 and I can't take a picture like that. Love the second picture and the motion of the prop and the up close shot.

IS your son willing to show me a few things... Great job

[RCoulter]

I'm impressed. I think I was still playing with Lincoln logs at 11. Way to go Jeff! ;)

Thank you everyone! Were very proud of Jeff and his work. He takes his photography quite seriously, he's responsible for packing up his own gear and he has a great working knowledge of the camera and what different settings do. He's a great help to me and I will do what I can to keep him moving forward.

[We've secretly replaced Victor's son Jeff with a cadre of POTN Members...Let's see if Victor notices...]

If Jeff happens to be in Michigan have him stop over and teach me his tricks. These shots are awesome. I love number 2, but does the pilot realize he left his co-pilot somewhere!?

GREAT WORK JEFF.
