Mustang..

Taken from a B757. It takes quite a few attempts to get the shots, they are from 8-13 secs, so any turbulence during the exposure ruins the shot.

Hi Folks. I've not been on here for a while, been distracted by doing some writing for a change, and didn't do a lot of photography in the last few years. However, I've been doing some more experimentation with shooting the Milky Way from an aircraft, and thought I would share a couple of recent...

Unfortunately not going to be able to sign up, as I'm off to South America with a motorbike for 2 months....

I am going to make an effort to catch up properly in the next week, both in posting the two entries I'm behind on, and commenting on other folks images. I see that on the spreadsheet my entry for Hot has not been marked as completed?

Hmm...personally I prefer just to use a lens, and if I like it then continue to use it, rather than pontificate and draw diagrams.
