I wish I got the entire jet in the shot.

BTW, I did something different this year. I shot off base, where Low Rd. is shut down. I wanted a different perspective; something you don't even get at the end of 30.

Also, I totally failed with the prop plane shots this year. It's like Michael J Fox was taking the pictures. Out of over 100, I got maybe three OK shots.

And then there were the few times I forgot to switch over to TV from AV.

Solid shots of the Blues, Scott. Agree with Harvey on that last one.

Regarding the shutter speed on prop shots, that's a battle I fight very selectively these days. On the plus side, 1/Double-Digit shutter speeds usually make culling super-easy, as the garbage shots clearly mark themselves for deletion.

There's also the fact that I was shooting very long. That doesn't help the situation.

I just noticed that the pic up on Smugmug has much less trimmed off the rear than how it is displayed here.

Not sure what's up with that. Is it just me, or are you guys seeing what I am (not) seeing on this board?

Move the slider under the picture to the right. The image is just large, the message board does not auto scale.
