(Air) The Fly In Breakfasts Are Back!

Time once again for the monthly Lions Club pancake breakfasts at Coolidge Municipal Airport! First one of the new season was very well attended despite it being about 12-15 degrees above normal for this early in October.

Good to be back out shooting in my own "backyard!"

wow some great shots there, what gear do you use?

Thank You.

These were all shot with a 1DMkIII + 500mm f/4L IS

My typical settings are 1/125 @ f/13-ish ISO 100. If I'm feeling really steady I'll drop down a little which I think I did for 1, 4 and 6. I think I was down on one knee with my left elbow on my left knee in #6.

Last one is great, but spoiled by the CAF tramp stamp. They will never learn.

You're right of course. I mean, who would ever put logos on a warbird, right...

(Jelly Belly Mustang anyone...?)

Nice work Jay. As always, nice and sharp! I think of all of them I like the Cherokee shot the most, although the subject is a little dull I like the angle, composition and lighting a lot.

Hahaha, funny to see the old CAF logo argument brought up even here!
