Practice shooting one of these little buggers in flight and BIF will become a "walk-in-the-park." :lol:

80+ attempts later and about to throw my camera at it......I win! LOL!

Darn, those shots are perfectly sweetly sharp.

Nice shots :)

Any tips for airshow photography to ensure proper/good exposures? or does the meter generally do a good job

Thanks! I think I shot manual for everything that was flying all day that day. The sun was reeking havoc on the meter. The settings would change from one side of the field to the other and I just wouldn't be able to get anything but silhouettes or white blobs depending on where the plane was.

As for tips, there really aren't any. Keep in mind the sun's position, shoot with a CPL if you can (even if you don't use it correctly) it helps reduce flare and glare, as well as eliminates enough light to allow for 1/200-1/250th for prop blur without maxing the cameras capabilities.

I have a CPL thankfully....and 1/200-1/250 for prop blur [Thankfully i have IS]

I take it that means you shoot stopped down to f/11-16 a lot?

Sorry for somewhat commandeering this topic but im supposedly going to an airshow sometime this year, and I wanted to have some idea of what I need to not botch it, even if its just for fun/myself
