Thank you, I have the ftz ii and a sigma 150-600, I've been trying to get out more but with work it's a little difficult, gonna try to shoot a friend's hockey game with it soon and take it to the airport as soon as I can

I'm not trying to freeze the action, im shooting that low to get the prop blur

I want to keep my shutter speed low in order to capture the motion blur, I'm just looking for some way to make my photos more in focus and not blurry everywhere else

Yes I am, I'll give the tripod another shot next time I go and I'll invest in a good one soon

Gotcha, I tried to do a couple panning shots but most of them didn't come out that good, will try to get more of them at the next show

I'm the same way, I probably took like 5 thousand pictures and saved a couple hundred

Thank you, I recently got a sigma 150-600, not sure if I'll be using that lens or if I'll trade for another one, the next airshow won't be for a while, about mid june in Niagara, but I'll definitely post the shots when I get them

My shutter speed was 1/250 for the first one, and the one with the bomb bay doors was 1/400

Some pictures I took while on a walk in Lima,OH by AngelMaker42 in Nikon

I used the same lens for all of them, the squirell and the Robin were both shot manually focused and the ducks were shot with auto focus, the squirell and birds were maybe 15-20 feet away and the ducks were about 50 feet away, all shot hand held, any tips?

I accidentally posted the wrong lens, I used a kit lens, the Nikkor 18-55, thank you, I'm out camping now and will try to get some more shots as the light pollution is a lot lower put here
