I had ten minutes to spare when collecting my parents at Edinburgh Airport today, thought I would try out my EF 100-400mm. First time I have photographed planes, it was good fun.

hmmm i know someone that works for scotair, that reminds me i must drop him a mail ! lol

Nice shots, remember for prop shots, try a slower shutter, so you get prop blur, otherwise it looks like its going to crash ! ;)

LOL, was just about to post something similar.. the prop shot looks weird frozen like that, but rest of the pics are very nice.

How slow a shutter speed do you need to blur the prop?

Depends on how fast the prop is going and how many blades.... sounds silly I know but it does make a difference.

Something like this, around 1/160 will easily achieve a blurred result, but a WWII bird just before landing 1/125 is too fast.... as for a Tiger Moth :shrug: :lol:

I once landed one of thse backwards into a stiff breeze! Don't know who was more surprised - me or the fella in the back seat who was supposed to be in charge!

Nice images but can't help but wonder if pointing a long lens at aircraft near an airport is a good idea ;)
