Looks good Aaron. Always carry a rocket blower. They have saved me a lot of editing. I blow out the sensor area before every shoot now. When I didn't, my edit time went WAY up.

Thank you Eric. If I'd of just run the censor clean on the camera it would have fixed it, it's how I solved the problem after the fact. From now on, change lens HIT CENSOR CLEAN BUTTON STUPID!!!!!! :banghead:

Well I don't have one of those new-fangled cameras with a sensor cleaner.

I have to do it the old fashioned way, after walking three miles through neck deep snow, both directions to the airshow. :evil4:

Eric, and up hill both ways to,correct? I posted two more shots, one which I think you might like. Honda is building personal jets now.

Nice shots Aaron! Not bad for being rusty.

Thank you Hugh but I can't see any difference between my Image Stabilized lens and the non stabilized one so I know I'm out of practice. :lol:

Eric, I couldn't keep from shaking. Each time I would find a empty spot a crowd would move in and invariably I would get bumped or be waiting to get bumped. The place was packed. I have quite a few shots of folks heads. Like I said, I just couldn't settle into to it. They are better than I thought they would be but they are not quality by any means.

Thank you Neil. I can still hear it. The first pass they came in from behind us and were doing better than 400 mph. WHAT A RUSH!!!!!! :headbang:

You have to be the airshow early-bird. I get there as early as I can to get a spot on the fenceline, unless I am beyond it. Camp out there for the day. That way you are up in front. You can always put a chair where you are going to be and wander for a bit then come back.

Some great shots, Aaron. Looks like it was a really good event.

I would have done that had I been by myself but I had my dad and Terry with me and I had not seen Terry in a while so I wanted to hang around with him some. We had a lot of fun, well I had a lot of fun. :lol:

Like I said before, I was to unsettled. The jets were moving a lot faster than I'm use to, the longer they stayed up the better I got but I was just to excited. What I wouldn't give to be able to do what these guys were doing.

Thank you Derek. I wish you could have been there. It was the 100th anniversary of this air show so they put on a pretty good show.

Your welcome Lacey.

We had a small airshow yesterday, four aircraft. Here are a few shots from the morning.

Gnomey · Sep 25, 2011

Nice shots Aaron!

vikingBerserker · Sep 25, 2011

Very cool!

mudpuppy · Sep 25, 2011

Sorry I missed you (again) Aaron. The wife and I went to the Grayson-Highlands fall festival for some bluegrass and barbeque...and some real molasses. Did the sun ever come out in Abingdon? There was still fog up on the mountain at noon.

Neat stuff. That's got to be the first cub I have seen with an iron cross.

Thank you David. I have some more to post but I have to wait until somebody guesses a photo on the What is it thread. :lol:

No problem Derek, the sun came out after the show was over. :lol:

Thank you Eric. Yeah, he flies like he is drunk. Bouncing of the ground, dragging the wings, diving and looping, throwing dummies out of the plane and what not. He goes by the name of Baron von Ground Loop. He puts on a heck of show to. These shots were taken in the fog so they didn't turn out to good.
