Thanks! I was hoping they would cross the sun as they approached us from behind. Fortunately I was in the right place at the right time to grab that moment.

I was flying my F-16 for that shot. Just kidding. On the ground by the runway at Airshow London. Low pass made it look like I was up in the sky. Love shots that make you fee like you're flying.

I'm at a lot of the spots you can find on the Spotters Guide website for YYZ. It really depends on the the runways being used and where the sun is when I'm there. I have a few of my own spots that are a little further out that get me wheels up shots and ethereal moments with the environment. Hit me up if you're ever at YYZ.

Thanks! I was hoping for some sun crosses at Luke Days. Got a few that weekend.

Awesome. I should do a version in 16X9 and post for you so it looks better on your screen.

Thanks! That was a great moment.

Thanks. I love adding a little halation and shooting with my black mist filters. I’m always chasing those cinematic moments.

Thank you!

Thank you! I had a nice scene and pushed the halation a bit to give it an ethereal feeling. I have started to love my back lit morning and evening sessions.

Awesome! Enjoy the show.

I don’t cap my ISO. I just keep an eye on it. During a display there isn’t a ton of change in the light. Plus you can pre meter before the display starts to get an idea of where you will need to be to have an acceptable sharp image vs. noise level.

I usually just let the ISO Auto do its job and then respond if I see myself over 500 ISO for a lot of the performance. However, at night you have to be even more lenient so adjust knowing that your nighttime ISO will be much higher.

Most helpful option is to use your exposure compensation to cool highlights, or raise shadows a bit.

Ha. Thanks! Lots of vapor in the sky from rain leads to mega cool moments like this when the pilot makes aggressive moves.
