Telephoto Lens or Crop
However,a "pod" is fine when it comes to wildlife etc...but...when it comes to photographing the Arrows for example,what then?

Use a tri/mono,- pod, i've used one to pan race cars at night

THIS Flickr set was done with the 50-500mm Sigma .. I never use a tripod or monopod. I must admit I probably lose a few shots because of it but I would rather that than lug one of those things around.

Nothing at all.
It was my first airshow and I got quite hooked on taking pics of aircraft. Hoping for somthing better than the K10D to use this year.
but it does help
Mongoose...Yep,it`s got to be some Ornithological Inverse Proportional Focal Length Gene,along the same idea of how a pigeon finds it`s way home.

Using a good telephoto would be better than a crop, but I guess cropping a photo taken with a good shorter length lens would be better than using a poor quality longer lens. It also depends on how big you intend to print your photos.
Best wishes, Kris.
It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I agree with Kris about telephotos and crops too.
it has long been my belief that animals and birds have an extra sense which allows them to determine the maximum effective range of any camera/lens combination and stay just outside it. The more interesting or photogenic the creature, the keener this sense seems to become.
So true!

Do I stick with the Tamron 70-300 or take a look at the Sigma 500?
...for those "I wish I could get closer" moments.
