It’s Air Show Time Again!

October 30, 2009 by Jeff Lynch

It’s that time of year again and we’re praying for the rain to stop before sunrise on Saturday. This year is a special treat for local photographers at the Wings Over Houston air show since they’ve finally set aside space for shooters and arranged for some flight line passes to be available. I guess my bitching griping must have worked!

Shot taken with a Canon EOS 40D set on shutter priority (Tv) using an EF 300mm f/4L IS USM lens hand-held. The exposure was taken at 300m, f/6.7 for 1/500th of a second using a B&W circular polarizer at ISO 100 on Sandisk digital film. Post capture processing was done in Adobe’s Lightroom 3 Beta.

Thanks for the Twitter reply on the lens, who would’ve thought Moose would chime in!

I have an older 70-300 Canon lens which I’ll take, no IS unfortunately but I’ll use the high speed burst mode on my 50D and hopefully keep them sharp.

Thanks again…

  Hey Sean,
  
  I’ve heard that the grass parking at Ellington is flooded so I’m not sure if I’ll be attending on Saturday. I don’t have a 4-wheel drive truck and would hate to get stuck there late Saturday.
