IslandR

Bought myself a D70 friday nght and on Sunday the "Snowbirds" performed in Victoria.

This was my attempt with the new equipment.

I really had fun with the 70 - 300, it was a used lense and for a $100 I thought I could not go wrong.

I took some shots earleir in the show with the 18 - 70 which I put a polarizer filter on. They turned out dark, when is this filter best used?

It seems that shooting into the sky is hard to get proper light.

When I was taking these shots I had the camera set for Shutter priority and went as fast as the Lense/Camera allowed, was that the correct train of thought.

Looking forward to taking more shots

Do a google search for "how to airshow photography" and you'll find
some links to cool stuff.

For your first time, I think you did well. Especially timing wise

Great idea, Ian, wish I'd thought of that before shooting the Angels.


This one's really interesting, Island.
