| Photos from Mtn Home AFB airshow A couple of shots from an airshow at Mtn. Home AFB, Idaho. Sorry about the size of the shots. All pictures were taken by myself in August 2005. Last edited by wmaxt; 05-02-2006 at 05:46 PM. |

I tried to shrink them to less than 100kb but the T-33 seems a little bigger. I have more Thunderbird shots and a nice one of a St earman. I'll post them after I shrink them. wmaxt | |

| I know what you mean about the shooting lag. I had that with my Canon Powershot and it drove me nuts. Once I upgraded to the Nikon D50, it is much better, but I shoot a hell of a lot more pictures.

My brother has a Nikon 8800 and it works nicely to, though there is still some shutter lag. wmaxt | |

| Yeah, the D50 AF is really fast, once you get it set up right. There is the AF-S mode and AF-C mode. It defaults to AF-S, which is static servo control. It focuses when you depress halfway one time. In AF-C, it is in continuous mode, and will continue to track and focus on moving objects. I know very few people that are doing manual focus with digital SLRs these days, and none of them do during air shows because you can turn the focus ring and the zoom ring at the same time, especially with a fast moving airplane! Tough deal with your neck, man. But keep shooting!
