Back in the Day I used to do a lot of Aviation Photography. I started with film but really did more with the early Digital Cameras like the FujiFilm S2 Pro & Nikon D1. The FujiFilm S2 also used Nikon Lenses. The Digital cameras were Great for this because you did not have to keep reloading the film for the fast paced FlyBys. Photographers around me were not used to not see me not reloading film. The AutoFocus sometimes had a hard time focusing on the Steatlh planes so I mostly used manual focus. Which was pretty much at infinity anyway.

I had posted before that I used to photograph aircraft at a lot of Airshows. Now that I am retired I am going through my array of backup hard drives cleaning out images no longer needed and making room for new images. But while doing that I am finding images that are interesting to post here. These are images taken at a Fly-In & Airshow in Geneseo, NY in 2001. Back then this was the early days of digital photography. Here I was using a Nikon D1X with an 80-400mm lens & a Fuji S2 Pro with a 100-300mm lens. The Fuji s2 Pro also used a Nikon mount lens. Both of these early digital cameras had a 1.5 cropped sensor so at 100mm it would be like using a 150mm focal length view on a Full Frame camera. The Featured Image was taken with the Nikon D1X @400mm.
