How many pictures this airshow

**Derf** · 05-31-2011, 11:09 AM

Manny, I was really dragging the shutter down to about 1/80th of a second at 300mm. Some of the shots came out great...most did not. I was trying the airforce mentality of throwing a lot of lead out....something is bound to hit. Next year I will go with the Navy mentality of just use a heat seeker!

I usually shoot 250th of a second for props but this year I played allot!
Just over 27K and Moose had it spot on on my facebook page. Great guessing everyone!

I was slacking... 2,986 for Friday-Sunday. Sunday I did a lot of watching and not enough shooting.

north of the B-29 but Mr. Moose. And I watched as he stood there with his camera taking pictures of just about everything and anything.

No wonder he has so many pics he never put the camera down.

Gotta be careful you can get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from that.

I took a modest 221 and a few quick video clips and by the time I finished my Facebook album that had been weeded down to a best of 89.

27K??? Did you move the camera away from your face during the airshow? :)

I'll be lucky to hit 500 at Reading this weekend

none here. Saw the A-10 leaving today as I departed the gym this morning but no pics this year.

I'm picky about when I hit the shutter

My highest one show count was RI a few years ago with over 8,000 in 2 1/2 days... Kept about half that much ...

Cary, you are MISSING shots if you don;t take as many... there are INFINITE possibilities between the frames you shot

Right Fred? ROTFL

If I didn't want to miss any of the infinite possibilities, I'd shoot video!
