Wife and I follow your Blue Angels pic, big fans of them as well. We both love military aircraft. We are just dipping into photography because of the Blues. We have a Canon EOS R100 and using a 55-210 lens. Going to use your settings this weekend out at McDill Airfest as a test run to the Pensacola Beach Airshow in July. Looking forward to more tips.
Here's a little Canon trivia: if you're wondering why the shutter priority mode is labeled Tv, it's because it stands for "Time Value".
Kyle - It's really kind of you to share your knowledge with us rookies! Your passion for the Blues really comes through in your pics. They are awesome!
ahhh, you're JK Adams, I've seen your stuff, I'm imagesbyfoster .... glade to finally meet you Sir.
Thanks for quick tutorial and as always....your photos are amazing! Keep getting after it!
I went to the Toronto air show yesterday with my Canon 70D, and my Sigma 150-600 contemporary lens in shutter priority mode. For props, I shot at 320th of a second and got excellent motion blur. The fast movers were shot at 2000th of a second. Again with excellent results. I did watch this video prior to the event. Good tips. Thanks.
Different strokes for different folks but never be afraid to try things. I set my camera up with TV and AV set for props and fast movers. With a flick I can which back and forth. I find if you are shooting into the sun or with the sun changes what speed you need for that prop blur. I find from 1/90th to 1/150 if I want as much of a full disc as I can get. Then again props with painted ends will give you a better result than unpainted props. That 100-400 L V2 is a sweet lens for aviation. There is some debate about full frame vrs crop but what's the old saying, the best lens or camera is the one you got and you can make either work for you. Both ACP and full frame have their advantages. You have some killer shots my friend. Proof is in the pudding.
Thank you sir! Great info here!
props you can get more forgiving with blur in the prop at I found the max was 1/350 and that was with a B-25. if you are going full disk then slower ones like mentioned or lowered will do the trick. ultimately the more you shoot props the more you will start to figure out how much shutter you need for either a blurred prop or full disk
Love your shots Man!
Iām currently using a rebel t7, with a 70-300 and a cpl attached ā¦ always looking for some awesome settings
I would also add to practice proper hand holding techniques with your gear. Solid feet placement, with your panning timed to get the best light as the aircraft fly across your field of view. Elbows tucked tightly by your side giving yourself the the most stable position that will result in less camera shake.
Jk...youre one bad dude....with the Blue Angels photographer....I was at the Blue Angels show at Maxwell.... couple weeks ago....I am a Nikon geek...I enjoy taking photo of vetted and classic cars....
I am always enjoy your pictures....
Great video. Looking to shoot my first airshow next month. I'll be using the Canon EOS R10. I'll be taking my EF 75-300mm F4-5.6 IS USM & the RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM. I'm considering buying the EF 70-200mm f/4L USM. Any thoughts concerning the 70-200 or the 100-400mm?
Awesome stuff man! Hope to see ya on the flight line soon :) Do you also use this camera for video or do you have something else?
Legit question. Is it possible to set your lens to infinity and turn off autofocus when doing this kind of photography?
Amazing lens. I have used mine for 8 years. The R7 though..... small buffer, slow read out causes very bad rolling shutter, and finally poor weather sealing. Canon EU wants Ā£1200 to repair a unit with water danage. Try the Fuji X-HS2. A bit more money but you get a stacked sensor, huge buffer and proper weather sealing. Using the Fringer adapter you can still use the Canon EF 100-400 L Mk2. too.
I wish I had've watched this before the Gulf Coast Salute Air Show!š¤¦āā Now I've really gotta get serious with it before I go see the Blue Angels! Absolutely LOVE your work!š
