Snowbirds demo Lakeland

Post by Lawndart » Wed May 03, 2006 8:24 pm

Just got back from Lakeland and the Canadian Snowbirds demo. Below, a few photos from today's performance.
Also, got the autographs from the 9 pilots... Now if I could only get the Blue Angels too, I'll have signed photos of all three major North American teams this year. Ha ha!

Awesome pics. What kind of camera were you using?

I just got 3 more batteries for mine and a 2GB memory stick, Powershot S50. :) Ramping up for airshow season.

Canon PowerShot S500 ELPH. Small handy camera, that even an amateur (like myself) can take some great pictures with! The true resolution of these pictures are 2592x1944. Short of a SLR camera, this one takes some awesome pictures for being a small, pocket size, point and shoot camera!
