Nice pics!

 

hmm... that last pic is quite warm/red

 

Those are awesome!

 

Wow gorgeous pics Mizouse! It was truly magical when I saw them at AFB last time as well. #2 is definitely my favorite formation of the group!

 

Great shots, nice and sharp.

 

Nice job!

 

nice shots man! i had similar shots of the blues when they were here in socal

 

Great shots, 1st is my fav.

 

Great shots, Miz. Glad you didn't get rid of your gear.

Did you have an extender on your 70-200?

 

thanks

no i didnt have an extender on my 70-200.

some of them are pretty heavily cropped.

 

I just noticed Jet #4 must have been undergoing maintenance as they were using the 2-seat Jet #7 in the formation.

hope you dont mind but here's a quick shot from my batch last weekend of a 4-plane formation:

 

very nice

yes i was going to say some of those (the first for sure) have to be 100% or close to 100% cropped...you look awfully close for 200mm...

 

What do you guys use for the focus setting for airshows?

AI, AI Servo, or just set to infinity?

 

i set it as AI servo, but i set the focus limiter on my 70-200 from 1.5m to infiniti to 3m to infiniti, pretty much so incase it went out of focus it wouldnt go too far.

 

hmm... guess i got lucky being that i went friday. the show got cancelled on saturday and afaik they ran a limited show today where they didnt do any high altitude stuff because of the clouds.

 

Cool, thanks.

 

some of them were actually pretty close for 200mm. like #4 above, it wasnt cropped that much it was actually pretty close.

i wish i got the shot of one going at or close to mach 1.

 

nice shots, my favs are 1 and 2.

 

oh 2nd to last is nice too.

 

#5 and #6 are my favs.

Framing on #5 is perfect!
