Behind The Lens
Location
I was at the Abbotsford international airshow Aug 2016, my friend picked up some photo passes for the Friday evening show.Time
this would have been taken in the early evening I would guess around 5:30 or 6pmLighting
it was early evening, hot sunny day, I used a hood for my lens and a UV filterEquipment
I was using my Canon t5i and my 500mm lens, my ISO was 200, f 5.6, 1/1600 sec,Inspiration
I have always been fascinated with aviation and planes, as a kid I would have my older brother take me to the local airport to watch planes land. my love for planes just grew from there and now aviation photography is a passion of mine.Editing
I used light room to bring out some of the yellow and to bring out some of the blue in the sky, during the airshow the aerobatic teams use a lot of smoke so the back ground was a little hazy.In my camera bag
I usually carry two camera bodies, the canon t1i and t5i, I use canon 18-55mm and 55-250mm and 24mm lenses also sigma 10-20mm and 150-500mm lenses. extra camera cards, lens and camera cleaners, filters, and gum.Feedback
I have been to a lot of airshows and I used to try to shoot everything and that would just frustrate me. Now I pick specific maneuvers and take my time, I look through the eye peace and follow one plane, I keep both eyes open and try to spot the other planes, I know that certain maneuvers will take place at center stage, then its just timing.
