Shooting the Thunderbirds flyover Los Angeles

During the Thunderbird flyover of LA I went to my local hospital that looked like it was going to be in the flight path of the F16s. Unfortunately they didn’t exactly fly over the hospital they were a little far out and flying right at the tree line in the distance. So by the time my camera was able to track them these were the best I could get.

Camera Settings:
ISO 400
100-400mm on an A6500 so the lens was 600mm
1/4000
f6.3

I kept the aperture wide and raised the ISO from 100 to 400 to make sure the camera was shooting as fast as possible to give me the best chance as possible to catch some images. Luckily I had setup for this ahead of time as I wouldn’t have had any time to make changes once I saw the planes flying.2020 5 15 Thunderbird Flyover 212020 5 15 Thunderbird Flyover 192020 5 15 Thunderbird Flyover 202020 5 15 Thunderbird Flyover 5
