Scored big time and got the green light to go on the next fencecheck photocall!! ;D I know of one other APsocal'er going, Nate (Kick-Z-tails out). Anyone else going?
My other question for those who have gone, any good tips? I've see the general tips, but i want to know shooting tips. I am assuming a telephoto is not needed, so a wide angle would be best. I have already gone and gotten a rental for that day, because my stock standard 18-70mm sucks. The other question i had, is it hard to focus on something moving in front of you that quick? I can imagine my camera going ape $h!t trying to focus in on something like that.
Anything else would help immensely!
I'm in! ;D
Nice! This your first time?

Might be a dumb question judging from your profile pic...
No I took that from last time. A tele-photo is good if you have two camera bodies or before you go on base they shot from the field outside the fence so you need it them, But yes a wide would be good or at least a 24-105mm since it has some range before they touch down. Have fun!!!!!!

I was wondering if you were going to shoot or do video? Maybe both?

Had a Blast!!!
and a few more...
It was cool finally meeting Alfonse, Glen and Keith out there. So many cool people in this hobby. Sorry I led you guys around the wilderness when we went down to the departure end. ;)
Jim is everywhere, always cool to run into Jim... but like I said, I see Jim every time I go somewhere. <laughing> ;D And Chris, it was cool we both got to be newbies on this one.
:)
Chris,Nathan & Alfonse man those are some awsome pics...good job guys <thumbsup>
Bring 'em.
We have been posting pics here:http://www.apsocal.com/index.php/topic,1448.0.html (http://www.apsocal.com/index.php/topic,1448.0.html)
Can we move the thread or those post to this new one? Would make sense to be in the photo section.
Few more...

Dumb question but did you remove the background or is it just your low angle that produced that look? ???
I was low enough that there was minimal background so not much to remove but did clean it up some. ;)

Ramp pano...
Nice one G
