Malmstrom AFB Great Falls Mt

Went to my first airshow last weekend. Hot, Bright, and had to shoot the wrong direction most of the time. Here are a couple. Hope you like. First one is A-1 Skyraider with an A10 Warthog. Shutter speed off a little. Got a little blur in the warthog, but wanted the prop blur. The pilot in the A10 did about 15 minutes of pure flying fun in the sky.

It's tough to find the right combination of sharp shots & prop blur. Sometimes it helps to practice with traffic for a warm up before the shoot. Marauder61 always seems to get it right. (Pro trick: Or maybe he just shows us the great ones?) https://photography-on-the.net …hp?p=4303755&po​stcount=17

Airshow guys - prop freeze?

I'd suggest C.Fn 13-1 to put AF point selection on the joystick, too. Look in your manual under Custom Functions.

I guess I did not pan as good as I could have. Need more practice.

Shoot, when was the airshow? I was up there for the big car show over Mothers Day weekend...didn't know anything about an airshow though .

It was the 17th &18th. Have some Snowbird pics to get thru, but they are working on my house. All the other computer stuff is sealed in a room i can't get to.

Beautiful shots
