After my attempt at shooting the T'birds, I can say that you have some outstanding skills there! 70-200 ?
Thanks, but you are too kind. It was my first attempt at objects moving at high speeds. I normally shoot landscapes in RAW, so this was new territory for me.
The venue was very bright, but with moving clouds that blocked the sun from time to time. Keeping that in mind, I used auto white balance, ISO 100, and Program Mode. To take advantage of the 6+ fps of the 40D, I shot JPGs, and set the drive to high speed with servo AF. I was also using a Picture Style setting with punched up color saturation, sharpening, and contrast. With those settings, it was fairly easy.... just focus on the planes, pan and fire away.
The lens was my 70-200 f/2.8, which really wasn't long enough... kinda wished I had the 100-400. That may be my next purchase.
