Re: Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show 2021

I went to the Friday show, November 5th. Skies were high overcast most of the day, and the sun was indeed right straight ahead of the crowd, both of which combined to make difficult light. Saturday was a clear day but I could not go on that day. Coast Guard rescue demo https://live.staticflickr.com/...

Re: Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show 2021

I'm wondering about other performers, how much of the schedule is being kept. The web site still lists several civilian performers, no other military aircraft, and still includes the Shockwave jet truck, for which I have, um, serious doubts. :lol: If the July weekend is anything to go by, parking is...

Re: 2021 USAF F-22 Raptor Demonstration Schedule

I just now saw the entry for Pensacola NAS in November. That's a show I go to nearly every year, both days. I haven't seen the F-22 demo for a few years, though, after Hurricane Michael shut down activities at Tyndall AFB locally, we haven't had our Gulf Coast Salute show since 2017. The Raptor was ...

Re: EOS R6 troubles

Well, "blurry" is vague in terms of what's happening, because with a lens that long, you could have motion blur even at 1/250. Blurry could be missed focus, as well. With my cameras through the years, I've found widely different levels of performance in the AF systems, but of course the ne...

Re: Blue Angel/Thunderbird Mega Delta!!!

Re: New Camera Input - DSLR/Mirrorless, APS-C/Full Frame

I'm glad you mentioned those other Nikons. When I decided to start seriously looking at cameras I didn't even consider them because I wrote them off as "too old" especially with the rise of mirrorless, because I wanted a more recent platform to start getting better glass for - but I do li...

Re: New Camera Input - DSLR/Mirrorless, APS-C/Full Frame

I've never shot with the D5300, but I had a D5000. Same line, but the 5300 is much newer, with better AF and some other features. The 70-300 you have is plenty of lens, especially on a crop-sensor camera. I upgraded from my D5000 to a D7000 and never looked back. The D5000 missed focus about half th...
