 | You've got some nice shots there, Simon. What are you shooting with? (Camera, lenses...)

| Hi Evan... Thank you very much. Wow! You are quite the aviation photog yourself, excellent work! My airshow kit is a Canon 20D & 100-400mm L IS. All the usual post-production software (Photoshop etc) I am still trying to justify a 1 DS...  Cheers! Goose Last edited by V6Goose; 06-04-2008 at 10:52 PM. |

| Thanks. I'm a Nikon guy, shooting the D50 and D80 right now, putting money together for the D300. I will be out today doing some air-to-air work. This time of year gets kind of slow here in SoCal because of the heat.

| One of my old flatmates was a Nikon guy, we had some healthy rivalry I can tell you! I am envious of your air-to-air shots, location is everything! I'm off to get some more model and full scale shots this weekend, havent shot much over the winter here, too much snow! Cheers Goose |

| The classic Nikon/Canon duel is right up there with Ford/Chevy, etc. But when it come down to it, the both take great shots in the proper hands. I had another air-to-air shoot today. Location makes a huge difference with those too. One of the things I love about flying out of Camarillo is you have a great blend of mountains, lakes and ocean for some great backdrops. You ought to come out this way one winter, there is always something flying around here.

| Like em simon. Like Eric I use a nikon but unike him or yourself my shots in comparison are very medioca. I have the enthusiasm but I find aircraft a really tough subject to capture well without it being just a record shot. Since the TV went up the spout at the weekend the D300 buying fund has been diverted which is a bit annoying. I enjoyed looking at your images very much and I hope you get some more super shots to post, have a great days picture taking. |

| You could still get some super shots with the D50, Lee. While my D80 has taken over the primary slot in the bag, I still use the D50 for statics and short lens shots.
