These are really excellent suggestions and tips for someone wanting to know more about photographing RC planes in action.</p>

I use a a Canon 5DMk2 with a 70-200f2.8/IS. Two things that I do that I have not heard mentioned are...</p>

1. Practice keeping your elbows in tight agaiant your body and view finder/eye cup right up against your forehead when shooting. This really goes a long way to stanbilize the camera and reduce camera shake a great deal (for those non IS lenses.)</p>

2. If you have the ability to shoot in raw mode (or raw + high-res JPEG) and don't mind the extra effort of prcoessing raw... raw will give you the useful advantage of recovering/improving those few shots when the exposures were at best marginal.</p>

Another tip... shoot from different angles/perspectives. Such as getting low/lying down to get landing shots.</p>

Anyway, just a few other ideas.</p>

Smooth landings,
John
