Default Wingwalker

Took these a couple years back with my old Konica Minolta Z6 P&S . Hopefully they'll be back for next summers airshow so I can try the new camera ( Rebel XS )

Enjoy

It's not the camera John, it's the man behind it, and the man behind it done good. Great shots. Couldn't do that myself. I get dizzy wearing two pairs of socks!! PAUL

Paul ,

You are too kind ...

Part of the reason I got the new camera was the shutter lag on the Z6 was a bit slow , even on "continuous" mode . I did manage to get some alright photos despite the lag .

Here is one more that almost has a "fake" look to it . Still surprised I managed to capture it at the speed they passed over

Thank you Paul ...and the Merriest Christmas to you as well !

The family and I do not get out much to many events Though next year we have plans for the Airshow that is returning ( with the Blue Angles ) and the local fall fair ...and perhaps a trip up north to an old scenic railroad ) ...along with my usual RC flying

-John ( Hopefully has been good to get that new Slik Tripod )

beachcomber ,

Thank you and Seasons Greetings !

It was truly the "highlight" of the show . My youngest daughter (8 at the time ) was in awe when she saw that bright red biplane taxi out with a woman standing on the wing . Wish I had been able to catch the inverted pass with the daring wingwalker upside down
