From Saturday's Pitt - ND game, as a Pitt fan, I had more fun watching these guys than I did the football players.

Delta, not sure if you got it, but a FM member was shooting that game from the sidelines with a new (to him) 300 2.8.....

Any idea why he set it up that way? The only thing I can think of is that he wanted to avoid having to pay attention to where the tripod's legs are.

It appeared to me that this allowed him to shoot closer to vertical than having a more conventional setup of the 600 centered in his Wimberley

Didn't notice until you mentioned it. It sure does look like the back half of the lens is on a lower centerline than the front half.

Here is another shot of him (that really doesn't shed any light in the issue

Hey UFO

Great shot. Is it my eyes... but that 600 looks like its made of toilet rolls. Its very lopsided if you put a rule against the underside and then across the top. Its bowing alarmingly. I think he can only be seeing the bottom edge of it !

Just hope its not my monitor ...

Take another look. He is actually shooting w/ another lens on his camera. The 600 is actually in front of him mounted on the tripod w/o a body attached.

I shoot quite a few air shows and I think this tripod and Wimberly is a little over-kill. Not to mention, it is more of a hinderance that anything. You would have to walk around the tripod in order to track the aircraft. Thank God he is not in the crowd with that set-up.

I use the Bigma, 50-500. Perhaps this gentleman should be using a 100-400 with or w/o a TC. Either of these lenses would be much more practical in my opinion, and experience.

This is the staff photographer from the local weekly newspaper. I felt bad as he had a Canon 20D & grip, 550ex, but just the 18-55mm kit lens.

Nice "SLR"

I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice my attempt at humor.

For those who don't know or didn't realize it. The car pictured is the Mercedes/McLaren SLR supercar.

Yay, check out the "Canon Guy" pic -- he's using the AF-stop buttons! I've never seen anyone else using them, either in real life or in photos. I was starting to think I'm the only person who uses them!

Sometimes I think you can tell who owns their gear and who is using their employers gear when you look at these pictures.

This is a photographer I was working with over the weekend. He used the 400 to shoot the cake closeups because of all the background clutter around the cake. They came out great.

Here are a couple I grabbed at Bristol a couple weeks ago...

These two guys and I were all in the same general area during Cup practice. We all had nearly identical gear too. 20D with grip and a variation of 70-200/2.8s with TCs.

Not Canon, but nice nonetheless.

Kevin,

I just shot the Indy Air Show with my 100-400 with a 1.4x TC and I wish I would have brought my 500 and used it with the 1.4x instead. I felt that I was always just to far away. This was my first air show... I have alot to learn. Any tips?

Thanks,
Greg

Here's a different type of Canon camera, sorry i don't know anything about this one

One of the Canon video lines, professional cameras/lenses for reporting and such. Might be this guy:

http://www.usa.canon.com/html/industrial_bctv/p_proVideo_YJ19x9_intro.shtml

But it's a bit harder to tell video lenses apart, so who knows exactly.

This thread has a life of its own so I might as well join in on the fun.

A fellow fm'er

This guy had the same setup as I did month old 1d2's with 70-200L IS on the front.

L glass on the HB pier.

That Rebel looks like a toy on the end of that long L glass.

You have to take my word for it thats a Canon in his hands.

There has to be a couple of Canons in there.

A Canon dose Bodie
