Air show pics...Thunderbirds!!

Went to see the Thunderbirds out at Fort Worth NAS last year, then my son and I immediately headed down to Austin to detail a TT Z06.

Anyway, I flat forgot to post the pics.

Killer shots Scott. Your photography skills are there, now you just need a good camera.

A Nikon N60 isn't a good camera?

In todays world, its ok. But if you get better glass, it sure would help !! You using the stock lens that came with the camera back in the day?

Would a lens filter help?

It's been 25 years since I took my last photography class and mostly used Tri-X and could fix exposure problems while using the enlarger. I think I frame pictures well, but I'm rusty on exposure settings to compensate for differing light and constrast conditions.

Didn't help that day that there was a mix of clouds and blue sky and the jets were sometimes going by at over 400 mph.

great picture Scott. The Blue Angels were here in the Alameda Marina last week. I didn't have time to go watch them though, but they put on such a spectacular show!

Re: Air show pics...Thunderbirds!!

Ya know what Scott, a circular polarizing filter will do wonders for your over exposed sunny shots. I cant believe I didnt mention that earlier...sorry man.
