Of all the cameras to take to an air show

[AMD87]

Remembered a thread a while back about someone ranting that people were taking pictures with their iPads but this has to be a new take on it.



At leuchars today and yes it's attach to a monopod and leaning back to get the right shot of a typhoon passing at 500+ mph

there's an app for that....

Oh. No there isn't!

I thought it was a plate camera....

Full circle eh?!

Was a Leuchars today as well (sunny again! ) spotted the new technique of people using DSLR live-view mode for action shots.... I'm guessing people are used to the P&S habits?

Yep.

No big deal really. Instant upload to social media, every knows where you are and what you are doing and it's all forgotten within 48hrs.

As for using live view - I would guess if one is using manual focusing and has enough DoF available that totally accurate focusing is not too vital, there might be some benefit in being able to shoot over the top of other people's heads. Of course if everyone is doing it you would need to up the game to shoot over the top of other people's cameras ... but for now there may still be some mileage in it. Should work well with a kit lens. Well, as well as could be expected.
