Keith, You have one impressive display of vintage warbirds there. I really enjoyed looking at them.
LOL on the guy with the HUGE White lens. I wonder what focal length that is? :rolleyes:

The Captain and crew finally got their stuff together, now if we can only remember where we left it. :cool:

You have some good shots there. I would have loved to been there. We don't get enough airshows in NZ..

anway I loved the shots, that you changed the colour off, it gives it a real age to them and you have done a great job.

Fantastic shots

I can never seem to get a series as sharp as that, despite using all the tips and techniques - Cf4-3 - panning practice - etc etc

Any particular techniques that you use ?

Regards

My technique?. . . Luck and good equipment. . . seriously, I started out using the Rebel and it was OK, b ut when I moved to the 20D made things easier. . much faster camera. And helps using a good lens. . . I use either my 100-400 or my 300f4L IS. The latter really shines shooting aircraft. . . As for panning. . .normally I shoot jets. . . so maybe that was what made shooting the prop warbirds easier. . . . but luck is a big factor in it. . . at least in my case. . . .thanks,

Love the B-17 shots, my uncle was a waist gunner on one and was shot down on thier 13th mission. He was a POW for 6 months. Wish he could see those pics, he would have loved them.
