Today’s Vertical Challenge 2008 Helicopter Airshow

I’m back from the Hiller Aviation Museum’s 2008 Vertical Challenge Airshow today at San Carlos Airport. My photos from today’s event are available on Flickr.

I was shooting with two camera and lens combinations today. The cameras were a Canon 30D and a Canon 40D.

The lenses (sometimes on one camera, sometimes on the other) were a Canon 24-105 MM f4.0 IS L lens and a Canon 70-200 MM f2.8 IS L lens. I was using a polarizer on the 70-200 MM lens – the polarizer helped to provide some of the starker sky contrast you see in some of the photos.
