Air Show

SMOKE665 .... I have a beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Blue Angel's are based in Pensicola NAS, 7 minutes away from us with afterburners on. Also their practice airspace in over our specific beach! When they come home for the winter they choose a new squad and practice over us. There is NO sleeping in when they come over at 8 am!!!

I've been to a couple practice sessions at Pensacola, always a great time. Sadly it and the wonderful museum there is still closed to the public I believe.

I too have a New Nikon D800 new Sigma 100-600mm!! Got ticket to Blue Angel,s October 29... 3 days befor my birthday.
My Question.. what Nikon "pictures control" settigs should I use for the Angel's? Vivid??

I used shutter priority, to be able to use a slower shutter speed get a little prop blur on those type planes, faster shutter speed for the jets, matrix metering, group AFC, auto ISO.
