Finally was able to stop at the terminal today and take some test shots with my new camera. Nothing fancy. I'll try my hand at some aerial shots this weekend.
About that low pass...do they perform that at the actual show? I thought there were safety regulations. Not that I would mind having a Hornet fly so close to me. Must have been awesome to be right there.

What exactly were you watching. For a "Practice show" it was very good. The gap between performances was because some of the performers did not go up today. The Blues were very good today and they didn't even do their whole show.

I have to agree! There are plenty of people who know how to take a shot and mangle it with HDR..
You sir- YOU did an excellent job and turned it into GOLD! :borat:
In other news, the Live Scanner Stream on my site is good to go for the Air Show tomorrow. A lot of listeners where logged in today. I didn't hear anything negative come back, so I am assuming it is working well.
I also have the Air Show audio being archived in 30 minute blocks to my website. http://www.w2lie.net/download.php?list.41
See you around Republic & The beach!
Re: Jones Beach Airshow 2010
Outstanding shots so far from everybody that has made it so far down to FRG and at the practice show on Friday.... I got down to the practice show about 930-940am and hung out with Moose and John Klos and his family...... I missed the WWII aircraft and the Blue Angles, had to leave for work..... Got also to meet Eric for the first time, don't know what handle you go by on the forums.....
Will be down at Jones Beach on Saturday with my NEW lens
(Canon 100-400mm L lens).... Treating myself early for my birthday in June...
Can't wait to get some sweet shots with this lens compared to my
Sigma 18-200mm. If you see a guy with a Alaska boonie hat, thats me......

"So there I am with my Canon Powershot trying to pick out the aircraft in the screen and all these
guys around me with bazooka lenses"
I Hear that- I was trying to do much the same by the west bathouse- lol :lol: I had so much trouble with the glare I was getting off of the screen (I have a powershot as well), it was awful to use - I didnt even try during the Blue angels as I didnt want to waste their performance being frustrated...

It's funny because I had the opposite problem lastnight.
I was trying to shoot static aircraft on the ramp & all I had was my zoom lense so I was having to stand back 50 meters just to get the aircraft in a shot. As Derf said, "A Bazooka to a knife fight"...
