Along with catching up with old friends, both people and aircraft, we got in some great shooting. The most essentail shooting was the time on the runway photographing launch and recovery. At Airfield 4S2, you can stand right next to strip and shoot all day. We did just that Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. I started with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1214152-REG\/nikon_1557_d5_dslr_camera_body.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/DFF\/d10-v21-t1-x700340\/SID\/DFF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">D5<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1383763-REG\/nikon_180_400mm_f_4e_tc_1_4.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/DFF\/d10-v21-t1-x870603\/SID\/DFF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">180-400VR<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1214152-REG\/nikon_1557_d5_dslr_camera_body.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/DFF\/d10-v21-t1-x700340\/SID\/DFF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">D5<\/a> AF set to Auto Area AutoFocus, Shutter Priority 1\/50 and the VR on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1383763-REG\/nikon_180_400mm_f_4e_tc_1_4.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/DFF\/d10-v21-t1-x870603\/SID\/DFF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">180-400VR<\/a> turned off.

The most interesting thing was <a href=\"http:\/\/brentpetersondigitalink.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brent<\/a> (who shot the above video) even said he needed the practice panning with his video rig (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1351688-REG\/nikon_d850_dslr_camera_body.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/DFF\/d10-v21-t1-x836034\/SID\/DFF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">D850<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/936121-REG\/nikon_80_400mm_f_4_5_5_6g_ed_vr.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/DFF\/d10-v21-t1-x417510\/SID\/DFF\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">80-400VR2<\/a>) so get it as smooth as he requires.
