Pictures from the air show today

I took a bunch of photos today at a local WWII air show. Never done anything like this before so it was a bit of a challenge. One thing I did learn, and that is why the pros carry more than one camera to an event. Seems like I always had the wrong lens on for what was going on. As the day went on I got much faster at changing lenses but it was a major pain in the rump. Here are few of the more interesting photos. Some turned out pretty good and others were just OK. One thing's for sure, the more you shoot the more you learn. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
Click on the link below to view the photos. I posted them on my companies web server to make the viewing a little easier.
 
Mighty fine pics and the server is excellent (fast). What shutter speed stops the props?

This one is 1/3200. Most shots were f/7.1, ISO 400, and shutter speed between 1/2000 or 1/3200. If I were to do it again I'd drop the ISO down to 100, the shutter speed down as well to around 1/1000, and let the f-stop drop to whatever is needed. The props would be blurred but that's OK, they're props. The high speed photos turned out just a bit too grainy for my taste. I'd rather blur the props and have better colors.
 
My favorite is img_4153, of the B17 Flying Fortress. I like the way it looks against the clouds. Is this a telephoto illusion, or were you actually airborne for these shots? It appears as though you are at the same altidude.
It's a wonderful gallery of photos. Well Done Nim!

Of all the planes the one I most wanted to photograph was the B-17. As they move the planes around they close off certain areas for safety. It seemed like every time a good shot of the B-17 was available I was blocked off from it. There was a great shot of it taxiing down the runway but they were bringing in a couple of F-16's and blocked me in at the opposite end of the airport. <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":("> Oh well, the inflight shots are better than nothing I guess. Glad you liked it though FOD. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
it is rather large but I figured it was necessary to really get a feeling for the artists talent.
