Dan 88 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Those are great Tomcat shots. ;) Too bad the tomcat is being retired, it's an awesome plane. :blink: Edited September 19, 2005 by Super Hornet 88 Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) Thanks guys. It is a shame... but she's getting old... still has a lot left in her though ;) Edited September 19, 2005 by Roger Link to post Share on other sites

g0_command0 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 my chance of seeing the tomcat was just taken away from me and im no longer happy at all Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 outstanding shots Roger - that 1st one looks frozen in time Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thanks Ken, I actually think it's a bit too frozen... but I wasn't going to mess with lower shutter speeds, to get a motion blurry background... too afraid I would get a motion blurry tomcat I've added some shots to Fence Check... You guys should up the image file size to 95KB (Fence Check size, those 15KB extra give you some more detail and sharpness :) ), so I don't have to convert the files to 80KB... That way it's easier for me to post images on both sites ;) Link to post Share on other sites
P-38 guy Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) and I got lucky a couple of times ;) I've never got lucky at an airshow, so what was her name? Mike Edited September 19, 2005 by P-38 guy Link to post Share on other sites

MA Cooke Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Roger: Two questions. 1. Where were you, to get such great shots? 2. What kind of camera equipment were you using, to get such great shots? I'm envious. I don't have a digital SLR yet, so I'm waiting on the lab to develop my film and return the digital images on a CD.

Roger Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 1. Where were you, to get such great shots? I was all over the place, you have to look for the good spots, and keep track of the sun and it's relation to the subject. It also helps that we had great access, provided by Corky and his staff. I was running along with the "official" airshow photographer and had a media/almost all access pass. We tried to get different angles of the same things. 2. What kind of camera equipment were you using, to get such great shots? I have a Digital Rebel (the old model) and rent a 100-400L IS lens. I don't use the IS (image stabilisation) since it actually works against me with fast moving objects. So it's a pretty basic set up. Roger Link to post Share on other sites
MA Cooke Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ahh. I haven't yet got my pics back...I'm shooting w/ a Nikon N90 (bought in late '93) and a 70-210 zoom, not a very fast lens, but quite clear. I want a digital SLR soooooo bad. Plus, a good friend happens to know a prominent airshow announcer...I hope to be able to have better access to a few airshows in the future. (This friend also gets media passes whenever he goes.) I'm in the wrong business. I'm a mechanical engineer, I want to be involved in aviation. Oh well....I got four little mouths to feed. Link to post Share on other sites
