Fair /airshow lens selection

deadprez · 09-04-2009, 09:13 PM

Hi forum,

what lens from my signature will be the most benefit to shoot my day at the fair / airshow ?

my logic would tell me the 50 and 300.

sorry for the newb question.

I'd take the 18-55 for ground shots and the 70-300 for the air

Then that is what i shall do.

18 55 to chase the kids around then the 300 to chase jets...

If i get lucky i'll post some pics...

Thank you for the tip.

Yip, I'd have to agree on the choice. A DA* 60-250 would be nice though

So the SnowBirds are back in Toronto deadprez? They were here at YYT Aug 22/23 and left just before hurricane Bill started but I had a wedding to shoot on the 22nd and work the next day. I heard them but didn't see a thing.

Lately it seems like there following me.

I have been hearing them as early as 11:00 flying around over the city.
I see them when I go out for my lunch break and the I then see them again on my walk to the train to commute home.

I guess not everyone is happy about this:

Apparently the old people in the city are spilling there coffee.

In all honesty tho the sound they make does not even compare to what you actually here in a war zone. Those sonic booms are so loud that I would remember the condo unit structure rattle and the
windows smash.
