tHANKS ZZK the jpg artifact is actually gone when i enlarge to 50% on the corel program it just came out like that here(it makes it look crappy!) Also, i was trying to get a nice movement from the props instead of freezing them like usual,actually had to 1/90th for the cg chopper! The f/11? well iwas trying to get more blue out of the sky,got me on that one. I bought this thing in february and this was my first digital airshow. Thanks for the tips, will definitely take your recommendatios w/ me to the Edwards afb open house in oct! I usually shoot the fast movers @ 1/2000 @ f/5.6 or 6.3 w/ my tamron 200-400mm but will be bringing my tokina 80-400mm w/ as well as my tamron 19-35mm, any recommendations for desert lighting?
And jdog,what appears as a boat in the foreground is some morons tent on the beach(idiots,them NOT you sir) and the boats in the background? Just the way the light refracts on the lake, they're actually about 3/4 miles out!from where i was standing they looked far smaller to the eye,the lens really helped bring 'em in though.
Thanks all for the advice and thoughts, anybody going to EDwards AFB airshow? OCT 28-29 if anybody's going, plus it would be cool to meet summa yall, since this years budgeting and time constraints due to the wedding pretty much rules out any fun stuff 'til oct when we get back from honeymoon in Hawaii! Again, thank you all. Ride smart ,be safe
