Personally, I have very little interest in shooting the airshow and
won't be carrying any long glass for that purpose. I might, however,
find some interesting people/street photography opportunities during
the airshow ... :-)
I'm thinking of areas in SF that would be good for street work, and
where to meet relative to those areas that might prove convenient and
sensible. I intend to drop my car at the Millbrae BART station and
stay on foot or MUNI during the time in the city rather than worrying
about where to park for the day. Particularly if you're pursuing
street photography, this presents better opportunities as well.

The plan is to meet on October 8th. The airshow that is going on that
weekend will have the Red Bull air races starting at 12:45. The
recommended places to view from are the Aquatic Park and Marina Green.
I am going to have to rely on those familiar with the city to help
determine where we might want to meet and do our shooting. We are
sort of planning on doing some street oriented photography.
My thought is to meet around 10:30 and learn a little from those
familiar with
this genre. Then a little shooting, lunch, maybe catch the air races
and some more shooting and dinner for those so inclined. Then call it
a day.
For those who have attended in the past, this has always been a very
fun event - nice to meet up with friends and meet the newcomers.
Hopefully we can get a few more who haven't been to one of these
before - Jack Davis and Barry Rice - you are on the radar!
Shout out if you're not on this list and would like to be!
