AirVenture (Oshkosh) 2014

[evangilder]

Thanks guys. VB, that was one of the coolest little vehicles at Osh. There are a ton of transports with wheels that defy normal thinking, and that was one of them. Basically a modified golf cart. I was glad Paul got a pick of it. I saw it go by when I was on the way to a press briefing and didn't get a chance to get a shot off before it was gone.

I will have to look around, some where I have the front view of that crazy golf cart. In the mean time here are a few more

Thanks guys, found the front picture Eric. This thing was way big LOL.

Really to appreciate Airventure you should watch the U-Tube video. Over 10,000 aircraft over a 7 day event with a airshow every day along with two night airshows if you go to them all LOL

You beat me to posting the video, Paul. It really caught the essence of the week.

I like the Mitchell flying toward the sun Paul - very nice pic.

The night airshow and fireworks were awesome. Some of the best fireworks I have ever seen.

Great.

 

[Micdrow]

Great shots there Eric, I guess that will be the next trick you will have to teach me next year

Considering Oshkosh is the only show that I shoot night shows at, I have only 2 shoots of night shows, so it's still experimentation for me too!

Man I'd love to meet up with you guys to get some photo tips next year.

It's on my bucket list. I was considering it this year but things didn't work out so maybe next year.

Well, this thread saved me about a $3K on flights and accommodation !!

Awesome shots guys, lets have some more ....or were there really only 32 airplanes instead of the usual 17K + !!

Thanks guys. I need to give a special mention to Nikon Professional Services. They let me use the 200-400mm and the 80-400mm pro lenses during several days of the show. I have had my eye on the 200-400mm for a long time, but at $7,500 and weighing in at over 7 lbs, it's tough on your arms, and your wallet. After shooting with the new 80-400mm, that's my new dream lens. It's 1/3 of the cost and half the weight with images just as tack sharp.
