Sunday, September 26th, 2010I went to the Rennes Airshow yesterday, taking two cameras and lenses in order to grow my collection of aircraft pictures (and because I’m also an aircraft buff). The weather was a bit mixed, dark clouds with small patches of Sun (and a cold wind). As usual, the result with my Sigma 55-200 got ugly most of the time when the target was moving since this lens is slow (or I don’t know how to use it correctly, maybe), even though a few shots got ok (even if a bit soft). The 105mm was a bit short most of the time, and I wished I could reach a bit farther instead of having to crop most pictures, but it saved the day, as usual. My favorite would be the Spitfire Mk XIX, although the Red arrows offered me some timing exercises.
On the music side, I was recently pleasantly surprised by both Red Sparowes with their album The Fear Is Excruciating, But Therein Lies The Answer (which is not that heavy/loud), “Russian Circles” with Geneva (heavier/louder), Keelhaul with Keelhaul’s Triumphant Return to Obscurity and Animals as Leaders. It feels like there’s a trend here…
