[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 913666, member: 6354"] Nikon D5000, with the 70-300 VR lens. VR is Nikon's Vibration Redustion active stabilizer. I shot at ISO 200 (maybe 400, I can't recall now,) with the prop planes in shutter-priority at 1/250th. I tried 1/125th, but still got too much motion blur, planes weren't sharp enough. 1/125th is asking too much at 300mm (equivalent to 450mm in the 35mm film world!!) I shot the jets in aperture priority at f:11, which resulted in a shutter speed of 1/1000 or faster. Shooting props in Tv and jets in Av makes it easy to switch back and forth; just change modes, no need to rack the shutter speed back and forth all day. As it got dark, I was moving the ISO up into big numbers, ended up at 3200 when it was pitch black, and those shots of the T-6 lit by its own pyro were pushed still further in Photoshop. As for composition, all of the shots are cropped from the original frame. None of them are exactly what I was actually looking at, so that gives you room to be a bit off center as you shoot. [/QUOTE]
