Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
I was there last year, and have to say again, the Museum staff is to be commended for their efforts in making this happen. There is not much to dislike. The only thing that made it a downer last year, and I completely understand why, was when they had to cover the canopies by 9:30pm. Other than that, you really can't complain with how that "night" is run.
Here are a few of mine from last year.

Not to be a pain in the butt Fred, but I the poster has a misprint. It should read "May 29,2010" instead of "May 29,2008"

i'm proud to say i did this the first year it was offered and while my shots didn't come out nearly as good (lacked a good tripod then) as everyone else's i had a great time. dinner was great and i had a lot of fun shooting the night away with good friends. in all it was a wonderful night and if i were going to be around this summer i'd probably want to go again. fred, next year maybe.

Yea I figured I messed up on how I typed that. I meant tell me what I have to do. I've read the 1st post but I would like to know more.

Link or info on any published night photos such as magazines, Anet, jetphotos, Flicker, personal website etc...
Night photo links are a must as this is not a learning session for beginning nighttime photography. We are able to take
advantage of one night during the year and learning would needed to be done prior. If help is needed there are lots of people
on this site such as myself, Moose and many others that would take plenty of time to help with night time shooting.
This year will be too many people requesting to go, 6 previous attendee's will be there and 6 first timers. The only way in is to try and enter.
You can link Daytime aviation shots and Nighttime shots that are not aviation as most will not have the opportunity to shoot night aviation until attending.
If your not sure if your entry is ok, put questions in the email as I read them without reviewing the links. Links will be reviewed by me on the 1st as per the poster on the first post.
Any questions, please ask them on this forum as you have so we can make sure others with the same question will have an answer.

May 1st is the Deadline, no other entry's will be counted after that. Selection is usually done within 24 hours and review is done with Moose during that time.... Emails are sent out
usually within 3 days for deadline.

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
Hmm hopefully i'll have an high quality digital long range camera by then with some good shots. I dont think any of my current qualifies sadly. Unless moose has a gem that i dont know about :borat:

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
TIME CHANGE!!!!!
I am very sorry to say that the times have changed for the History Under the Stars. The Time was from 8:30 to 11:30pm
but will now be from 7pm to 11pm. The reason for the change was not taken lightly but was made to afford all
photographers participating the opportunity to shoot a planned four ship flyby consisting of a B-17, B-25, P-47 and P-51
aircraft. While I am completely DEVISTATED by this news....IT GETS WORSE! The flyby is planned for sometime after 7PM
but before dark and could possibly be completely backlit making the possiblity of making it on Anet a 0% chance. You will
probably not want to even take your camera out and go into a corner and cry with Moose and myself. For those of you who
attempt to even try such a crappy shoot may possible get some crap like this...
http://www.longislandwallpapers.com/...94_nfgTH-L.jpg
It may get worse as time goes on and we may get some shots that are washed out and un appealing like this
http://www.longislandwallpapers.com/...25_p7quQ-L.jpg
(if you note the lack of detail and can not even make out the color of the plane....CRAP!!!!)
Just when you thought it could not get any worse.... they tell me the want to see if possible to get us in the old control
tower for the flyby, thus making me climb the stairs AGAIN!!!! and that should give us a new level of Crap Backlit shots
where we are closer to level with the aircraft.
Once again, I am soooo sorry for the inconvenience and if anyone wants to back out, Please let me know how you would like
the refund for the full amount paid. I think my wife will still mind me writing the check for $0.00 but WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE
SACRIFICES!

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
Fred, I know you'll need a second badge, so I will force myself to still go. Maybe we can rig up the beacon on the old tower to hit the aircraft just as we shoot so we can make them out? :wink:

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
I can't believe it is almost Christmas - I mean time for the AAM History Under the Stars again! Time Flies! (pun??)
I've been lucky enough to attend in the past, and have placed some of my shots on my gallery:
http://www.w2lie.net/e107_plugins/galle ... emId=13504
(And for those who know me, I DO stream all radio traffic from the planes and controllers online - so those with out scanners can enjoy the show from a different point of view).
Here are some shots from previous years. Again, more are in my gallery.

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
Think any of my night shots will qualify?
-
Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
We are over the allowable limit we set of 12, 6 returning and 6 new photographers. There is stiff competition. I have not see the quality of your night work, but like the lotto.... you need to be in it to win it. Will it be that hard to send a few night shots with a request? If you are questioning the quality of your work you will probably not make it....but there is only one way to find out. Try
thats my $ .02

i've been questioning the quality for awhile now. I'll shoot to learn how to get it done right and try next year when I got a year under my belt so to speak.

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
day and a half left.... Lots of entrys this year. I am very sorry that all will not be able to attend.
Once again, we had way too many people the second year and we were all on top of each other, fighting for a shot
was not good and it was difficult on the staff at the AAM. I am sorry that all will not be able to attend.
If you have not put in your entry, please do ASAP -Fred

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
Funny how in the last two years I've showed up at the museum Saturday night I get to see this photo shoot come together... one of these years I'm gonna accidentally get in a photo or two! :D

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
Any hints or tricks for the night shoot as it is my first time... What type of glass do you guys bring, a wide is obvious but what about on the long end, 70-200, 300, 500 ???
I was think of straping some PWs onto some Canon flashes with some velco for a remote flash.... easy to share that way too.
Will we have access to our cars so we swap gear or should we loadup ??
Gonna need some Red Bulls after all day at the beach... have to miss Friday's practice at the beach but will be hanging at FRG later (New Highway Fence) and hopefully there for arrival on Thursday...
See Ya around,
Lou

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
Lou,
I hear you - I will be hitting the show on Sunday, and Saturday morning I will be at Eisenhower watching the USMC Demo.. I'm hoping to get off Friday, but it looks slim right now.
Suit up - you are better off taking all of your gear with you. I mostly shoot this with the 10-22mm EF-S lens, and a new 8gig card is on the way! Don't forget your cards!
Big Thanks again to 'DERF'

Re: History Under the Stars 2010 (Nighttime Airshow Photoshoot)
Lou, just bring the wide angle, or short zoom. You are close enough that a 50mm will probably be just enough, even too much in some cases.
Flashes are always good to have, but the real fun is doing it with natural light. :)

It was good to see some old friends, and meet some new ones. As always, a big thanks to the fine folks at the American Airpower Museum for hosting this event again. And a huge thanks to Fred Miller - Fred we always do have the best adventures!
Now it's bed time for this old Moose...
