heres a random sampling from this past May’s Chino airshow.sorry for being tardy.i just started to play with them.I sure love the Northrup N9m flying wing .truely an original shape! Tim

Would be nice to see some pics, as I was there………briefly!

It was the first day of our holidays, and we went from good old British weather, straight into a rather warm field under the baking California sun.
Up towards 95 deg if I recall?
Typical tourists, we had no hats, just the obligatory shorts.

Managed a few ground shots on the tram from the car park (cow field), but had to leave before the show got going, and take refuge back in our air con Caddy.

Shame, by all accounts it was a cracking display.. 🙁

Flying here…..

il be there tomorrow, i originally planned to go sunday, but the wait is driving me mad 🙂

I’ve postponed until Sunday because of the weather. Good pics need sunshine… 🙂

Should be easy to identify then. 🙂

I’ve decided to follow Moggy’s policy for a change; leave the camera at home and watch the display. I have a nasty suspicion I’ll miss a lot of the show wondering where I’ve put the camera down.

Your going naked… 😮
What will you do with your hands?

Worry not, I’ll be at hand with my camera should you start to panic.

I’m easy to spot…I’ll be carrying a Canon with a 100-400 on.. 😀 😀 😀

Not sure what went on with the stearman pic… :confused:

I still get my share of blurred and out of focus, and I use a Canon 100-400L IS.

I do get more keepers than with a non IS lens, and got even better results since switching to centre point only focus.

For shots in the air, I always set exposure compensation +2/3 too.
It brings out the aircraft better against a bright sky
