I recently took a few shot of the annual festival near my place so I'll share what I have learned.

1- Be ready for different scenario so bring your 18-55 and your 55-200. I spend most of my time with my 70-300 only because I was not on the site (I was actually following them as they were flying).

2- Try to compose different shots. There is so many opportunies. Fill your memory cards !

3- If your not sure which aperture/shutter speed/iso you should use, the landscape setting is a "safe" choice. Aperture is normally set at f/10 (from what I remember with my D60) so you should have most thing in focus.

4- Have fun !!!
