Toledo Air Show 2004

Filed under: — Mark @ 11:46 am

In spite of a very bleak day with lots of clouds and some rain, we visited the Toledo Air Show. ThunderBirds It was a lot of fun. The Thunderbirds were very good as usual and we got the rare opportunity of watching Air Force One come in for a landing. It has been raining all day today and I am really glad that we decided to go the day that we did.

I purchased a new lens for my Nikon D70, and I had a nice chance to test it out. It is a 70-300 Tamron lens with a 1:2 Macro. I really like the lens though it is not as quiet as my Nikon DX. The lighting was terrible at the show, but the lens still performed pretty well. Most of the pictures had to be doctored to get the right amount of light on them. The president’s plane showed up very well.

Here is the link to the Toledo Air Show 2004 Album.
