Bob Beary Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 You've got some great shots in there!! I really like the A-10. The focus is tack sharp in all of them. Thanks for posting. What was your camera and lens set up? Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Interesting how different a hue the Blue Angles yellow has at different lighting angles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niart17 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Beautiful pics! Was this from 2 different days? Number 7 is in the 2 spot in some shots and in the 4 spot in others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wxltcol Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thanks for all of these! I really enjoyed them. The Blues flew at Ft Collins-Loveland airport 16 and 17 October. Didn't go anywhere near there, because I-25 was a nightmare, as were the other roads. I remember seeing both the Blues and the Thunderbirds when they were flying F-4s...

habu2 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thanks everyone. I did shoot on different days. Thursday the Blues flew orientation routes, familiarizing themselves with turn points, approach headings etc. Friday (media day) they flew a full practice show. Thursday I shot south of the airport just west of the runway centerline with a Canon 7D mkII and a 100-400 lens. Friday I was right on the centerline with a Canon 5D mkIV and the same lens. All pics were shot in Manual mode (with autofocus) to maintain consistent exposure at different sun angles. The pics are jpg straight out of the camera(s) with minor cropping and major resolution downsizing (2048p max) for web viewing. I did not attend the actual airshow over the weekend as they wanted $95 to park in a remote lot and stay in the lot next to your car. No thanks. My only cash expense was gas to/from the airport.
