Questions for ya; how'd you walk around w/the 2 cameras and did you use any filters?


Thanks Bill!


I don't use any filters.


As for walking around with 2 cameras; I have a flimsy Canon backpack that is small and light, just long enough to carry a body with 100-400, some misc gear and my 70-200. I keep one camera in the bag while using the other. The gates usually open a couple hours before the air performances start so I go early shoot everything on display with 5D and wide angle then when the performances start revving up I swap cameras in and out of the back pack.


I definitely refrain from changing lenses. Air shows are usually windy and dusty.

With the 40D I use to have to go through my air show shots and throw out the poorly cropped and the out of focus shots. I don't know if I threw out any OOF shots this time. It was really that good
