I went ...


But forget to take to most essential part of my camera.. The battery lol
Put it on charge last night and forgot to pick it up this morning.

Was a great show, shame parts of the days weather let it down, but it was a good show all the same. :approve:

I love air shows, and those are some fantastic shots!
What camera/lens did you use?

 

[terribleclio]

Nikon D70s with Sigma 70-300 apo (could do with a 1.4x converter really)

Cracking shots, #3 is the winner for me, very cool.

I don't think a converter would work with the 70-300, or at the very least you will lose auto-focus. As a general rule auto-focus won't work if the lens is slower than f4, even with a 1.4 which only loses one stop.
