I am trying to take as many photos as I can. The action is relentless and the event is vast and diverse.

The one problem I am struggling a bit is soft images...?

I think its caused by a combination of humidity, heat haze and using a telephoto lens. The weather is excellent but its very hot and humid, I am shooting using the same settings as a I would at our local shows. The difference though is that Gauteng airshows are in winter at 2000 m above sea level.

I am shooting up to 2500th of a second, so I don't think its motion blur.

could it be humidity?

Very possible that the humidity and hot air 'thermals' are causing the softness. Are you using a UV filter?

I have a uv filter fitted.

A suggestion has also been to get a polariser filter. But unfortunately won't be able to get one in time.

I hope you don't mind if I add to your thread Mars? Seems a better idea to consolidate rather than start a new thread. Let me know if you don't agree [-o<

I spent 4 days camping on the other side of the airbase so got a few pics from a slightly different perspective. @Airfire, you are right - terrible haze most of the time but early on and toward the end of each day, conditions were better.

Anyway, first time out with a decent lens which I found quite hard to get used to. Nevertheless, I got some ok snaps. Still going through them so will add as I do.
