Yes, I'm one of those lazy guys who only use full automatic pocket camera's. But now, my wife bought a Canon EOS 1000D, so I decided to improve my skills on this airshow. First everything on automatic, but at the end of the show, finally using full automatic, I think I made some decent photo's with this much too complicated camera
What's the deal: In the far North of the NL lies a timy (880 m) grass airstrip with the abitious name "Oostwold Airport". The owner has a warbird, P51D "Damn Yankee", one of the finest looking P51's I've ever seen. He organises a small airshow, every 2 years or so and even manages to get some rare birds as you will see. About 15000 people come to these shows and as the farmland is big, there's plenty of room for everyone. One of those nice, small relaxed airshows..
Damn Yankee was unfortunately not able to fly, so I made a fewstatic shots of her. I only had a big (60-300) lens, so you'll have to do with some crazy closeups. One lesson learned
Coming up, some more P51...
