tiktaalik,

Great shots!!!

Would you mind posting your EXIF data for the first two shots? I was in the Semper Fi Chalet right next to you and got essentially the same shots. I was shooting with my 40D and the 70-200 f/2.8L IS with the 1.4 II tele. I couldn't get in as close as you did and the constantly changing light was playing havoc with my exposure. I am, however, very happy given that it was the first time I have ever shot an Airshow with reasonably long and good glass. I wish I would have had the 100-400mm L IS lens, maybe next year.

Thanks,

Michael

Michael,
The first shot was
417mm
1/1000s
ISO 200
f/10.0

The second was
266mm
1/1000s
ISO 200
f/8.0

Nice images but why, in the second image, is one plane sharp and in focus and the other is not.

I was panning with the plane in the back (I have this knack of always picking the one in the rear :rolleyes: ) so the one in the front will show blur from its motion.

OK, I gotta buy more memory before the Nellis show...

When IS the Nellis show, do you know? I live, literally, right off the air field, but have no idea when the show is.

Another one. The small image doesn't really show it but I was really impressed by how the 40D nailed the focus and how sharp it is.

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/gif'


A couple more 40D observations.

The dust shaker seems to be doing a good job. It may not work perfectly but I don't see massive evidence of dust bunnies after the show. My 30D collected them like mad. I know dust was being pumped into my 40D - I got crud all over the mirror, but so far nothing is jumping out at me from the shots.

The buttons are way too easy to push accidently. I would put the camera down in my lap between acts and then pick it up only to find it in a menu screen, or picture info, or some other weird thing. After one instance, the picture numbering went crazy and went back by a count of 200 in the middle of one card.

And I had another day where the Bigma shot an entire day without hunting for focus. That custom function to stop lens drive when AF is impossible really works!
