While I was shooting the skyscapes last night I tried a handheld panoramic series just for grins. Shutter speed on these four frames was .5 second, which isn't challenging the Hasselblad IBIS in the least, at f/16/iso 100. The panoramic end product is 404.27MB with a pixel dimension of 17273 x 8142.
Just got back from Columbus, Ohio. I bought ticket for both Friday and Saturday. Decided not to stay for the Saturday show. The show was good, the F-4 didn't come. It was quite a drive to see the show (370 miles one way). The Thunderbirds flew at 3:00, and the Snowbirds at 4:30. The light was still very strong . By the time the F-35A flew at about 7:30, the light was very nice but not quite sunset kind of light. It was cool to see the P-38 again. Will I travel that far (time, gas and hotel) to see a show with similar lineup like this? Probably not. On June 24th i will be going to DC to shoot the flyover at 7:00 PM, B-2, F-16 and F-35As, On June 25th they will have the B-52, F-18, F-15 and F-35C. These are just flyover but the light on them should be beautiful.

I mentioned this before Douglas but POTUS is hinting that the new "Air Force One" may make an appearance at one of these events or on the 4th of July! Hope you are there!
Glad you made the trek to Columbus. It is a long one!
Darn no F4?
