Mark, dark flat grey to get less suntan in the cockpit? Or for those times when you don't have a 18% grey card and are in a barrel roll.
No airshows for me this year, at least congress still gets their full pay and pensions.

Itsed65 · 08-24-2013, 07:18 PM

Cool planes! I haven't been to an air show in a long time.

What position are you using on the IS switch on you 70-200, position one or two? If I remember correctly, position two is to be used when panning. It may be helpful.

M_Six · 08-24-2013, 07:45 PM

Yep, position 2. Still, even with IS, shooting at 200mm and 1/125sec or 1/150sec for prop blur takes a smooth touch.

IRide · 08-24-2013, 07:54 PM

I think you've got it!

But, jets can be so much easier.

M_Six · 08-24-2013, 08:27 PM

True. If there had been jets, I'd have been shooting with my 400 5.6.

Itsed65 · 08-24-2013, 09:51 PM

If you think prop blur is hard on an airplane, try it on a helicopter! You need to be down to at least 1/160 or slower.

I don't often use my 24-105, but when I do, I'm impressed.

Stay focused, my friends.

Great series of plane shots guys.

Speaking of propellers...

Someone needed to dust the house and he was elected.
My freeloading cat I have to babysit for a year.

but useful for lighting control and exposure?

Hehe, true. If you can master getting a good photo of a black cat on a white background, and also a black cat on a dark background, you can write your own exposure book!

went for a mountain drive yesterday.. this on the way back..

Itsed65 · 08-26-2013, 09:25 PM

Great deer shot Dave!

Panicos, I love the flock of birds in that shot. Adds a lot to an already nice sunset shot.

Itsed65 · 08-26-2013, 09:40 PM

Went for a drive through Sonoma Valley wine country yesterday. It's getting close to harvest time. These are going to make a nice bottle of Cabernet someday.
