This is my first proper attempt at a flying plane, Does it look okay?

I have to crop it a little bit and zoom it in, Full photo avalible on request :eek:

Tell me what you think please

This will be my last posted picture for the week :nuts:

Erm.... I think its too dark, and the plane is too small. Good luck with the next one :)

Thank you for that buddy, i will bere that in mine next time. Maybe i could get a ladder and get right in the cockpit :)

That was with my camara lens maxed out, even digital Zoom lol.

Can't wait to get my Nikon :):) :P:P

[nutter426]

Or find somewhere they fly lower?

You'll probably be better off not using digital zoom, and cropping the image. You'll end up with a smaller image, but its all real information, not made up.

I've been taking some pictures of birds recently, and with them, taking pics early morning or late afternoon so the sun is shining up at the bird (or plane) makes all the underneath detail show up.

I'm normally good at identifying planes, but I have no clue what that is >_>

It looks kinda like a hawk, but it's just too far away and pixelated to really tell.

I think that this shot highlights the limitations of short-zoom P&S's. Technique doesn't matter in this situation - the plane is just too far away for the camera to take a good picture of it. I discovered that after an airshow with my A75 (and it was one of the reasons I bought an SLR).

Good luck with future shots, hopefully with better equipment!

Looks like a Harrier to me ..

Although it is very small, it is quite sharp, which is a good thing !!

Well it come from Lakenheath, An american air base in Norfolk.

So it could be a Harrier :)

I guess you could dodge the plane a bit to make it lighter. Other than that, its probably the best you could have done with the kit you have (unless the plane was going to get ridiculously close to you :) )

[Techno-Geek]

Well i would like it that close that i could hang on to it's wings :)

I will try to go over the air field tomorrow
