Hi Folks.
Wow to all, more great shots, thanks for posting.
A Fieseler Storch I think? at an airshow at Sandown Isle of Wight, the first and last I think!
It was taken during my early digital days, when I carried a film camera as well, the pictures of it flying are on film I think! When it did fly it flew so slowly in to the head wind it was practically stationary, it took ages to pass.
At least the pilot was able to open the throttle and make progress but damn that thing could fly slow!

Hello, here are several images from the Rockford Airfest 2014 which took place in Rockford Illinois last weekend. All these photos were taken with the Canon 100-400 and either the Canon 6D or the 7D. Lighting conditions were pretty bad so after ETTR I had to stretch the files quite a bit to get the levels back to normal. That said, while I know I will have some opponents, shooting with both the 6D and 7D at the airshow has convinced me to sell my 7D. While I love the camera, the build quality, the speed, etc. I have to say the 6D did everything just a little better, including AF. I found that with ETTR, the 6D is a very forgiving camera in less than ideal lighting. Anyway here are the images.

Hi Keith.
Am I correct in thinking you have posted the lightning strike before? It is hard to believe that the two pictures could be taken only minutes apart!
This too is a great shot.
Cheers Graham.

Yes, this one had been posted. I took a look at the times for each image and they are within a few minutes. This was a nasty thunderstorm that moved through. I was shooting in a downpour and wiping the lens dry every shot. Me and the gear were totally soaked. The roughness on the pavement is actually rain hitting standing water.
Here's a shot as we were waiting out the storm afterwards:

Beautiful
Did you use a colored filter, or was this natural light?

Hi Jim.
Really nice shot, I love to see the discs in the afterburner cone, such a cool phenomenon.

Hi Keith.
That sounds like a lot of water for gear to deal with! Guessing it all survived, were you using a rain cover of some kind or just relying on canon weather sealing?
They are some big splashes, nice shot to set the scene.
Cheers Graham.

No protection. Seals and design were proven to be effective. I did have to wipe the lens's front element off every shot.

I was reading this article earlier about the worlds first aerial protechnic display team. I would love to shoot this! There is potential for some great photography of this!
