The airshow is in my town tomorrow, and an RCAF F18 (CF-188) was doing some warm ups. @cvvhrn - what is your secret to taking pictures of planes against the sky and getting them to turn out? I am using a Canon EF-S 55-250mm zoom (at 250mm) with a lens hood and manually set to f/14 and 1/2000 shutter. I then leave ISO on "Auto" but I still need to try and fix the images afterwards. Do you use a special filter? Any advice?
