I’m going to an air show in early June and wondered if anyone had any tips. I’m hoping to shoot from the beginning or end side of the flight line to try and catch the planes as they go by. There will be everything from biplanes to fighter jets so shutter speed will come into play, but I’m not sure about aperture. I realize that bigger apertures will allow faster shutter speeds but I don’t know if DOF comes into play for this kinda thing. I’ll be shooting raw.
I can certainly screw around and see what works, but I would also like some good shots mixed in.
Anyone ever shoot one of these?
Oh yeah, I’m shooting with a Nikon D80 with the 18-200mm Zoom lens, so I’d like to try to keep the ISO low. This outfit makes noise like nobody’s business at ISO 400 +.
