Hey,
I have been to Waddington a couple of time, but not yet made it to Farnborough, which I hear/read is the better one in the UK.
I'd like to do it this year... it's Thursday/Friday 16/17 July.
Anyone else going?
It'll be my first time trying this type of photography... I managed to get a couple of OK photos of some things that decided to fly overhead today... but I'm defo a noob to this type of shooting.
The kit should help somewhat... I'll be taking Canon 5D3 + Sigma 150-600 5-6.3 Sport + tripod... I'll have other lenses with me too, but that'll be the primary one for flight of course as the next longest reach lens I have is the 135L F2.
Any specific tips other than selecting tracking stabilisation mode on the lens?
What about AF selection... single point tracking mode or something different?
