cooked by the sun

just returned from asian aerospace. man i feel cooked. my skin is red and my face is dry. armed with a canon eos 20d (digital slr) and a nikon fm3a (conventional slr), i woke up early and headed off for the airshow. the displays were ok but i felt the aerial display was somewhat lacking. the highlight was not the f15 but the airbus a380. when it came out, the oohs and ahhhs plus a few "segouei neh". hahaha. i fired off multiple rapid shots with the eos 20d and filled up the 1gb cf card really fast. thankfully i brought along my powershot a85 (compact digital camera) and i quickly unloaded my own 1gb cf card and placed it into the eos 20d for more shots. when viewed in succession, it looks as if the plane is in motion. hahaha.

at the large aircraft static displays, many were waiting at the apron for the return of the a380. some stayed under the hot sun for up to 3 hours waiting for its return after the airshow. when it appeared on the taxiway, cheers went off and suddenly nobody was grumbling anymore. hahaha. me? i stayed only for 30 mins and i became a bloody lobster. oww!
