I have 5 Gigs of flash for my camera now, I had 3.5 for last year. I am thinking I may pick up another 2 GB card for this show. I shot very conservatively last year and almost ran out of space, but with this years lineup, I want to be able to shoot normally. You can count on me posting some shots of this one!
 
Burn up those ccd's you guys we want a bucket full of shots, I agree with you
Les cant wait for the results and judging from the pics that have been posted before from you fellas we're in for a treat with 7 gigs Eric you'll be getting RSI pumping that shutter either that or you 'll be the first guy to do 100 exposure bracketing:)
 
Eric, if I can make a recommendation for a specific shot/camera setting... I know u've been screwin around with prop blur and exposure speeds... How bout trying to hit the 38's in a flyby with their props at a standstill, no blur... Try getting a couple different shots... Ur camera allow u to take speed shots with different exposure rates???

Man Im jealous now...
 
Guys, there is no challenge in getting an airplane while stopping the props. Set the shutter at 1/1000- to 1/2000 and all you have to do is point in the general direction of the sky. The problem with that is that there isn't much depth of field and the details won't be as sharp. I am looking for shots that I can blow up into gallery prints, like 16x20, or 20x30.

You want the sense of motion. Otherwise, they look like models. The clear airplane with good prop blur is the money shot.
 
Got a report from the airport...

F-15's have arrived. They flew some passes on arrival.

The are 6 P-51 Mustangs on the airfield with more coming!

The 3rd P-38 has arrived on the field.

Rumor...a 4th P-38 is on its way...just Rumor mind you (THIS COULD BE AWESOME!!!)

The Super Hornets arrive tomorrow.

All new courtesy of Gar and Britt and dated yesterday.
 
Heres a close up pic of the B17 wing where the "big" bird hit it.
