Temora flying weekend with the 200-400VR

africaddict

My wife and I returned on Monday from the flying weekend @ Temora, in western NSW, Australia.
This was my first attempt at an airshow AND using the 200-400 for a length of time.
All the images were hand-held and was quite impressed that I managed to last the day with this beast!
We had a great weekend with beautiful fine days and can thoroughly recommend the trip.

Love these pictures and your others. Excellent photography. +++
Not sure I've seen a Spitfire with that nose art before. If I have I just
can't remember it or where.

Nicely done What did you think of shooting an airshow? and what about the lens?

I looked at your album, also; Everytime I see a Canberra I just can't help but thinking it's beautiful because it is so ugly that it has come around to beautiful again I like this one also.

PS: This is not a lear jet, but a Gulfstream G-V

Hi Ivar

Being my first time at shooting an Airshow, I really had a ball
I love the 200-400 and it worked a treat for most of the shots, despite the weight, you can get used to it.
Many thanks for your positive comments.
Also thanks for the heads up on the Private jet

Cheers
