Instead of cursing the thunderous noise over Quebec City I decided to embrace it and even try to take pictures of it. I'm writing about the annual air show held at the Jean Lesage Airport, a scant five kilometres from home. I cycled up to the highest point over Highway 40 and starting tracking six speedy F-16C USAF fighter planes.I shot off over 150 images in shutter priority (Tv) at 1/2000s, continuous auto focus and burst mode (8 frames per second) with a Canon 70-200 f4L lens . I didn't hear the noise of the highway or the planes until the show was over. Surprisingly I had a good time!
The shot above, where the jet seems to be tethered to the cloud by its contrails was the most peaceful of the bunch. Below, you see how closely they fly in formation.
Very good pictures Andrew. I always look forward to taking a peek at your site. Have a nice photographic summer and we'll see you in the fall. I bought a Canon 70-200 2.8 used at Gosselin's two weeks ago (very heavy).
