March Field Airfest 2010

Thank you all for your kind comments. I just found out the other day that I had my lighting all set wrong on the camera, it was set for indoor lighting , I also forgot my 55mm lens for the in close shots of the static displays and had to use my 70-300 I guess you live and learn , always check you camera settings before going to the show I was going to ask do you guys use auto focus or manual for air shows ?

Great shots. I love the F-15, probably my favorite jet aircraft. Well, the F-14 and F-15 are tied. To me, they just look like they want to kick the holy crap out of you.

Nice shots of the F86 also.

Hey wheels, I was looking around for you, but didn't see you. We went on Sunday, got there about 1030. I'll look for you and Eric at the Chino Show, I'll be there on Sunday.

I was going to go again on Sunday but I changed my mind.
The traffic on Saturday had been pretty bad and I had got there around 8:30.

I am looking forward to meeting up with everyone on Sunday at Chino.

Excellent shots Merv!!!!! The water drop shot is magazine material sir!! And the F-15 shots are superb!! You are doing great!!!!!

Thank you Aaron, they may have come out better if I had my light settings correct I have to try and remember to check my camera settings before the Chino show. My pictures don't compare in quality as yours and Eric's and so many others. I still seem to have problems with blur, maybe I need one of those monopods I can't believe I took over 960 shots

They looked good to me Ontos.
When I take pictures all I see is a dot when the planes are at altitude.
I may need a better camera.
