Light Speed...

I decided to take a few photographs at the airshow here in Sioux Falls a couple of weekends ago. It was surprising how much I enjoyed the process and challenge. I found that I am rusty at keeping a good even pan going so I was shooting with a fast shutter speed to freeze the action. Like all things a little practice would have solved my panning technique but ISO 400 1/6400 @f3.5 did fine at taking care of the shakiness.

The Airforce's F-22 demonstration team put on an amazing show. When the plane made a pass with it's bomb bay doors open I got the image below and flipped it vertical to make an interesting composure. The white in the background is a cloud but it gives the appearance that the plane is sitting on a sheet of seamless.

I had a really fun time out there and got a wicked sunburn too boot.






I was reminded how much I like photographing these kinds of subjects and I'm glad I brought my camera along. More images to come soon. I need to get caught up with some posts.
