Took some shots this weekend at the air show near my house:

Love the one with the moon. What lens and which body? (sorry, still can't get opanda working on my lappy)

1D with sigma 70~200mm f2.8 EX DG and a dose of the Sigma EX DG 2.0TC...

that shot belongs in the 'moon' thread!

added in the rest. Those were from my pbase account (the original links). I replaced them with the ones on my own site.

BTW, for anyone local to the RI area, I'm planning a NSOP BBQ at my house for this this summer. The details are a bit flaky at this point (their site isn't up yet) but yeah, come down to the beach near my house and have a good time w/o having to deal with people or hot runway, just hot sand.

Just name the date.

that sounds awesome.

It's listed as:

6/28/2008 6/29/2008 RI Nat'l Guard Open House/Airshow Quonset Pt, N. Kingstown RI

but the thing is the RI national guard site still has the 2007 info up:

and the blue angels are in Huntsville, Alabama that weekend. Some years they don't come, but then we get the snowbirds... They're listed at the Ottawa Air Show that weekend as well. That's why I've been holding off any official announcements/invites in the meets section.....

I mean I'll certainly still watch from the beach, but the jets are the boys who have a large enough show to see everything there. Some of the prop planes don't leave the field really so you don't see much from my beach... If you bring a bike we can still ride over though.

But yeah, the schedule this summer looks a bit disappointing to say the least. No BAs AND no SBs?

Jets are cool. Nice shots.

Thunderbirds.

oh, nice find KC... Funny thing is I looked up thunderbirds thinking they were the canadian team and didn't come close to that site.

Awesome that someone cool is coming though. The big jet show and the A-10 are my favs.

Annual RI air show...demonstration teams not confirmed yet will update as more info is confirmed and released.

I don't think the Tbirds are going to be there.

You should have bought the 40D a week earlier!

That shot with the moon is sweet, btw.

Edit: just noticed when this was originally posted ... guess the 40D wasn't an option then

W00t! im excited about going to this, this year.

yep, one of the joys of the 5D. That was back when I first had it so I wasn't quite so used to double checking all my shots before posting them.

pure luck... It's from a sequence as they went by us on the beach... When I got home I knew I'd have one good shot in there but had no clue the moon would be behind them....

Don't get too excited. Looks like they forgot to sign up any talent.
