Obviously I once again won the highest shutter count as usual, I am curious how many photos did you take the entire airshow week?

Lightroom tells me 2546 but that will drop considerably when I finish culling them. And while at FRG on Sunday, I also did a bit of JFK arrivals spotting :tongue: so they shouldn't count...

I was there Sunday from 9:30AM to 3:00PM. Took 446 shots (I spent a lot of time just watching and sitting with my girlfriend, and I wasn't at the museum itself).

After culling, I've got 79 left (I'm a little OCD, so I keep a max of 3 shots per aircraft).

I did that much in 3 hours! Lol

Anyone else? Also, does anyone want to guess REALISTICLY how many I shot? Please do not post if I told you already....

I'll say 15,000 Fred
Cary

I'll go with 28,000, although that's about how much I shoot in a year or two.

Fred, I have to say, I "heard" you when we shot the Wounded Warrior crossing 19 on return from its fly-by... that ONE burst alone was like 30 frames... now, let's say I used some basic math... I say 25920 on the conservative side :-)

The formula? ok, don't spam me LOL

30 frames every 5 minutes for 24 hours times three days...

if I used seven days the number jumps to a whopping: 60,480 frames give or take 1,000 frames :tongue:

Manny, I was really dragging the shutter down to about 1/80th of a second at 300mm. Some of the shots came out great...most did not. I was trying the airforce mentality of throwing a lot of lead out....something is bound to hit. Next year I will go with the Navy mentality of just use a heat seeker!

I usually shoot 250th of a second for props but this year I played allot!
Just over 27K and Moose had it spot on on my facebook page. Great guessing everyone!

I was slacking... 2,986 for Friday-Sunday. Sunday I did a lot of watching and not enough shooting.

4,926 over 6 days.

Yesterday I was looking through the fence by Runway One Nine with my binocs just about to leave (around 4 or so when the L-39 went up) and who do I see on the tarmac just
north of the B-29 but Mr. Moose. And I watched as he stood there with his camera taking pictures of just about everything and anything. :biggrin: No wonder he has so many pics he never put the camera down. :eek::wink::smile: Gotta be careful you can get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from that. :tongue:
I took a modest 221 and a few quick video clips and by the time I finished my Facebook album that had been weeded down to a best of 89.

27K??? Did you move the camera away from your face during the airshow? :)

I'll be lucky to hit 500 at Reading this weekend

My highest one show count was RI a few years ago with over 8,000 in 2 1/2 days... Kept about half that much ...

Cary, you are MISSING shots if you don;t take as many... there are INFINITE possibilities between the frames you shot :tongue: Right Fred? ROTFL

If I didn't want to miss any of the infinite possibilities, I'd shoot video! :tongue:

I remember that when it was first posted on Gizmodo :-) Well, theoretically, if you take a Terapixel image, the details would allow for serious crops to still be a 10 to 12 MP crop LOL... can you say, atomic-sized photo wells? How many microns across are today's photo buckets on a Canon 7D sensor? Imagine ... a Hydrogen atom is about .000048 microns... lol. D3 pixel pitch is 8 microns...
