Ag,
I, too, had become jaded after all the airshows I'd seen - until I got the
400 mm Tamron. It is great fun to blast away at the aircraft with that
cannon. I'm sure that Fuji and the ColorPlace are delighted, too. I burned
a ridiculous amount of film at Duxford on Saturday! Maybe I'll have a few
keepers. I did take time out to just listen to the Merlins and Griffons and
Pratts. Watching the mass launch of Spits from the grass that Chris
described was like stepping back in time to witness the Battle of Britain.
Visually and viscerally stirring, and sobering. I am glad I was there.
Chris clearly enjoyed it, too.
OM-content: spot-metering appropriately is far superior to any averaging or
matrix metering scheme when shooting dark airplanes against a bright sky.

I've gotten jaded through the years of watching air-shows. As
impressive as the Blue Angels were, they take way too long to
setup a stunt. The Eagles Aerobatic Team was my all time
favorite "team"--but I don't know if they perform anymore.
