Hi Douglas,
Once again you nailed some amazing photos of these jets. Your ability to capture them is nonpareil!
Wing.
Thank you very much, Wing! It's a lot of fun/pride to see and hear them.

I'm pretty sure the RCAF Demo Team's Hornet gets a unique new paint job each year. I have caught a few of them over the years.

Interesting, Jeff. I saw the RCAF F-18 demo before and kind of remember it was just a regular grey jet without special paint job, maybe that was the backup that I saw.

I am deeply in love with this camera, in case no one has noticed, the only flaw that I have discovered is, it is so good, it tempts you to be cavalier about shooting, something that should never happen. "Not the flagship...." my hind quarters, it is head and shoulders above any flagship camera that I have ever owned. I find when I pick it up to capture something I am filled with excited anticipation to see what it's going to allow me to shoot, not a bad thing for $4299.
BTW, I just shipped my pristine R5 off to it's new owner for $2000, I left the mojo in for that price...........
Great shots from the wedding, Jim. I am slowly dipping my toe in Canon water... I love my Sony 830 NM infrared camera, but it's "only" 24 MP. The higher resolution Sony/Nikon mirroless bodies show very visible banding/stripes after IR conversion under some situations because of the PDAF on the sensors they use. I read that the new Canon R bodies use DPAF, not PDAF, so they don't show the banding in IR conversion. I may get a used R5 before spring to convert it to IR. Winter is not a good season to shoot IR, according to the experts.

Douglas, you are supposed to photograph the whole plane, not the back half !

OMG !
The last 4 are incredible...Like WOW...You nailed it on those.
But that last one is best yet !
Thanks Bill! The jets some times came too close for this old man to track and keep them in the frame, a zoom would have been better.

Outstanding Douglas - AGAIN! That last set is really dramatic. I'm still hoping to catch that CAF Hornet.

Nicely done, Douglas. You captured our RCAF CF-18 beautifully!

Thank you Pete! The RCAF F-18 is a beautiful jet, great pilot as well.

Thank you guys!
You want vapors? You got vapors.. It actually rained a bit when the Blue Angels were taxing out. I thought they would stop the show but they didn't.
This time I made a change of lens selection. In the last few years usually I had the 600 GM F4+1.4TC on one camera, the 200-600 on another. I had used the 300 GM+2X TC and the 100-400 instead of the 600 GM+1.4TC and the 200-600 a few times in the last few months. For the Oceana show, I brought the 300 GM, 600 GM and a 1.4TC, no zoom. I had the 1.4TC on the 600 GM for a short while, and put it on the 300 GM. So for much of the show I was using 600mm on one camera and 420mm on another. I think this was the first time ever I didn't bring a zoom to an airshow. It was a mistake. A zoom lens really comes in handy at times.
I must ask Douglas...visually do you see what we see in the photo?
Great photography!
Dan
Thank you Dan! I am not sure if I understood your question. I just sprayed and prayed.
More from Oceana. I like the scene when they were flying in front of the thick smoke from the pyro, pretty dramatic look. But the dark smoke fooled the camera's auto ISO into ISO territory where I don't usually go.
When you were visually looking at these aircraft, were the vapor clouds as evident by the eye as the lens/camera? Hope this is better..
Most excellent!
Dan
Dan, looking through the camera's view finder, I could see it when the jets make vapors, but normally it's just a split second, or one or two second at most. I would just keep shooting and shooting and try to keep the jet in the frame. It's not the same as looking at the files on a big monitor. It happens so fast that my brain is focusing on tracking the jet in the frame, sometimes I fail miserably, as shown in the clipped shots..
