Salinas, California Air Show 2016

Unread post by sury »

I went to the air show after two years gap and predictably made some rookie mistakes. Anyway, here are some samples:
I did not realize my zoom was at 70 instead of 400mm. Had I zoomed full, it would have been a great shot.

I did not realize my shutter was 1/1600 instead of 1/2000 or faster. You can see slight motion blur instead of tack sharp images.

A77II. It did very well. It was pilot error that caused the soft photos.
