Originally posted by Orbus Wow, those are some really great shots, there, Mike! Suddenly, the ones I took with my K10D and DA-L 55-300 seem a little inadequate...
Judging by the clear skies, I'm guessing you were there on the Saturday as was I; it would've been nice to have bumped into you especially since we were probably the only Pentax shooters in the entire crowd. An interesting comment you make about the airborne dandelion seeds--I noticed those white specks in a few of my shots as well where it was getting close to the sun. I just assumed it was dust on the lens elements. I still have to PP a few of my Snowbird pictures (hopefully this weekend) but most of mine are up on my Flickr page.
Again, great work! Enjoyed viewing your photos!
Thanks Orbis, Nothing wrong with your equipment, I was shooting airshows with the K10D back in 2007, Its just easier now. Yes I was there Saturday, I sure would have been great to bump into you, I have bumped into other Pentaxians at airshows before. Seeing as how we don't live too far away from each other (I'm in Brampton) maybe we should try to meet sometime. As for dust or seeds I don't believer those little flecks of dust in a lens would show up so small given how big they show up when on the sensor, they should only get bigger the further they are and they never showed up in the same places or the same pattern. IMO it has to be seeds.
Just saw your gallery, you've got some nice ones there too!

So you know what this means right? in 2 years you'll attend the airshow for more photos!

Originally posted by originalwinger Great pictures Mike, hard to pic a favorite. For the local Pentax shooters the F18 and the Snowbirds are back June 23-24 in Wasaga Beach.
Home | Heroes Festival Canada I'm interested in going but I haven't found a decent map showing where show center will be and where parking is. Obviously I've never actually been to Wasaga Beach.
