My arms are aching today... Shooting with the Sigma 150-600 Sports @ close to 600 mm for six hours straight tends to have that effect... My keeper rate was around 1%, slightly under... I will just post the photos, if someone wants more information, just ask.

Absolutely magnificent! And, I especially love those photos of the p-51 and the Spitfire.

 

Must of been rough shooting tho.... the light was terrible. Hope you didn't get wet!
