Going to organise someone in Rustenburg to go check it out...

This is going way back, but you get anybody to check that place out?

When going to an airshow or whole day shoot, do you take several spare batteries, or a battery grip?

[Deanw]

Both!

Nick, it seems Monique is not a forum member anymore, so you won't get an answer. She is now living in the UK, AFAIK.

Thanx

Canon 7d + canon 18-135 + canon 100-400l

Good combo ?

[Thndr_strck]

Those lucky enough to be using 7D's, could you post your AF settings for airshow displays please...

[Deanw]

There are a number of websites that provide 7D custom settings for use at airshows. The BIF (Birds in Flight) guys also use similar settings. In the end , it comes down to personal preference.

Where can I get a decent size camera bag to carry a camera, lenses, extra batteries .......

I have seen a few people mentioning permits to gain access into airports such as FAJS and FACT. How do you go about gaining a permit for photography purposes, and is there any cost involved?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have read of some airports using aircraft spotters as a way of providing security, as lets be honest, we are watching EVERYTHINNNNGGGGG. I wish ACSA would see the point in this kind of system.

I can't remember - do you over or under expose for ground-to-air photo's ?

That would depend on the colour of your subject (and sky, for that matter).

[PJL]

I normally shoot 1/3 - 2/3 f-stops under exposed as you can never recover a burnt out area of a photo.

Was a nightmare yesterday with the white overcast sky x-(

my best photography tip: carry your camera on your person ... ready to shoot ... all the time.
this way in 6 months or so you can easily shoot 30 000 pictures.
by then you will know your camera pretty well and are bound to have a few stunning picturs.

Please may I make a suggestion. There are some fantastic photographic tips under "SEEN AT O.R. TAMBO." Please can these tips be moved to this thread.
