I'll be going to an air show this weekend, my first, and I am seeking advice on camera settings, techniques, etc.
I'm using a 60D and a lowly 55-250 (unless someone wants to donate a 70-300L to me haha) for the in-flight pictures and more than likely my 15-85 for ground pictures. So, I'm not expecting any award winning results (especially with the 55-250) and I'm really just doing this (the photography portion) for the experience.
I'm guessing that for in-flight pictures, high speed continuous shooting and Al Servo are pretty much standard for such an event, right? What about metering? Would spot be best? Will I need exposure compensation?
What about pictures of the planes on the ground? Any composition tips? Is it taboo to cut off the tips of the wings or the nose of the plane in a picture?
Also, any pictures you've taken along with the details of the picture would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for any advice, tips, etc., that you're willing to offer!
