   @MrSerious0 Thanks for the reply. Yeah, okay, at least I guess I’m glad I wasn’t missing something totally obvious. I’ll be interested to see how the stuff I shot in manual focus turned out. My fingers are crossed!

   @mjkobb Yes, I had this happen also. I usually just zoomed all the way out and let it focus on basically anything, before zooming back in. I also had some problems with it making very small focus adjustments, when it shouldn’t, that are only visible when watching in full screen 1080p… I cut almost all of those out for this video, I didn’t find a solution to that because I didn’t notice it until I got back from the trip.

   @blawrence42 Thanks! Well unfortunately YouTube has the mobile version disabled, apparently due to copyright issues with the song. It’s out of my hands unfortunately…

   I see that you shot this with a TM900. I was also at OSH with the same camera. I had some trouble with the focus “hunting” when shooting airborne planes, especially if they were at a distance.

   Did you do anything special to avoid this? I eventually started using manual focus and the smallest aperture I could dial in to gain some depth of field. Haven’t had a chance to review all the footage yet, so I hope it was at least modestly successful.

   Nice job! Enjoyed watching some of what I missed.

    Great video! My dad and I were there as well. Loved last year’s video too. Can you enable it for mobile viewing? I’d like to be able to play it for people from my tablet.

    Excellent, but you didn’t get the zeppelin. But then I guess if you got everything, this video would be a couple hours long!

    @MrSerious0 My mistake then, great job again

    @omarbadr36 Nothing is sped up or slowed down. Everything is real-time.
