Red Bull Air Race San Diego 2017

[Mike Buckley]

I mada a conscious decision to shoot at a high speed, even though it would freeze the props, I wanted the background of the San Diego Skyline to be sharp

shot a couple of exposures at f/20 to slow down the shutter speed. I did not like the results because the buildings were blurred from the panning.

Ahhhhhh. Your second comment explains your first comment. Now I understand!

Thanks Jean...





I have several local excursions this weekend. There is a multi cultural Fair on Saturday which will showcase the various Pacific Island and Asian members of our population. I think that I might concentrate on head and shoulder shots there. There is also a Mexican-American celebration but. since I cannot be in two places at the same time, I will opt for the Multi Cultural Fair. The decision is predicated on the fact that the Multi Cultural Fair is close to a dog rescue event we are holding, so I can help my wife set up and break down and also be available to do any home visits (safety inspections) needed.
On Sunday Canon is sponsoring a photo shoot at a local flower field.

They will have a selection of Canon equipment which they will loan to photographers free of charge. I'd like to compare the results from my older 100mm Canon Macro lens against the newer Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS lens. I am also thinking about bringing my 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens which with my 36mm extension tube, does some very nice close up work.
On Wednesday, I am going back to where I shot the Air Races and do some night photography of the skyline.
Looks like a busy week...
