Asian Aerospace: In Flight

[Tweek]

Arrived late at the trade show today, missed a good chunk of the flypast, damn. Could hear the roar of the engines while I stood in the queue for registration. After I finally got past the security checks, I could only manage to capture the following flights.

All cropped.

Aiya! I missed this show liao, haven't been to any Aero Space show b4....

Anyway nice flight pics u got there Tweek. I think it will be even great if the last 3 pics can show the trail of the planes?

BTW, u using ur C700UZ is it? Care to post the settings so I know how to take such pics in future

Thanks!

Hey blitz, long time no see you around...

I think it takes more of nimbleness and fast reaction (which I lack, that's why only got so few shots) to take such shots, rather than the camera's exposure settings. These shots were taken at 1/1000s F5.6, but I'm sure you can still freeze the plane motion at 1/800 or even lower. The crux is to follow the plane's route, adjusting a good focus at the same time, and snapping at the right moment.
