I had a chance once again to go and photograph the CNE Airshow over the Labour Day long weekend, specifically the Friday show. Of course part of the experience is talking shop with various other Photographers around. It was rather impressive the number of dSLRs there. It also gave me a chance to try out different camera modes. For the most part I found myself shooting in manual mode, just so that I could under expose the image, and then I could edit it later to keep the sky exposed correctly and then manually adjust it so that the planes would stand out. I also experimented in Shutter Priority mode (mostly setting the speed to 1/2000″), just to capture the planes mid flight.
The US Navy’s Blue Angels of course, in my mind, stole the show. Here are a few of my favourites from the Angels.
