Location
Pt Magu Naval Base, California Shot taken in 2005ThTime
10:00 AMLighting
The lighting was poor and it was a very overcast day with low cloudsEquipment
Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USMInspiration
I was at the air show trying to get shots given the difficult lighting situation. I had so much difficulty of finding the fast low flying planes in the long lens and I got lucky to have this one!Editing
I did minor sharpening and contrast changesIn my camera bag
I had Canon 20D and 100-400L at the timeFeedback
The difficulty is with a very long lens is to both find the fast moving subject and then focus on it. I had more many more failures than successes and I ended up switching to the 100-400L.
