dino f where where you for these shots
 
Sorry dino, and dan...ts what I get for attending an air show with a pair of normal blokes that suddenly turn anorak 8yr olds the minute a plane is nearby! :bonk:

Your pics are excellent as always matey - like you , shattered, will stick a few up tomorrow, after we have been to..... Hatfield and Shuttleworth :bang:
 
Brilliant!, the clouds in the last shot are blown a bit, apart from that it's a great one.
 
Nice shots Dean, Expect to see some from me very soon..:)


PS: Yes I'm bloody sore today too..:nuts:
 
I too feel a bit crispy bacon,... was very hot and had no sun cream!

Was great meeting up Dean! Excelent shots!

Dan.
 
Shucks!! Thanks guys for all your comments.
For the record, i was far right up the crowd line, right at the end of the runway. As the planes came in from right to left, they were actually flying over our heads so close my 100-400 was too long at the 100 end!:eek:

Riat next:woot:

The best spot was at the other side of the runway..:)

Did you see the lucky sods on that banking with their big lenses and tripods, They even had the sun at the back of them, Not in front like we had..:bang:


Anyway I have a plan for next year but I aint sharing...:razz: ... :LOL:
 
BB we were way further up than that, any further we would have been in Stanstead.:LOL:
Dean:)
 
Great shots, Dean - you can really get the feel of the day
 
Ok great shots, now for the boring part - how did you keep so much detail and colour in the planes? Spot meter or something else? Whenever I take photos of planes I never get as much brightness as that in the planes???

Shoot in Manual with spot metering. Depending on the weather meter from something that is roughly 18% grey. On dull days a light/slighty grey cloud is pretty good. Take 3 or 4 test shots of something flying and check your histogram. The detail should be to the right, but not too far as then it will be blown. Adjust accordingly.

Bright blue sky days are a little more difficult. Nice well kept green grass provides a decent exposure, or the back of your hand/your mates forehead. Another good spot is the greay concrete slabs on the taxi way then adding slightly to that.

All a bit guess and check the histogram really.

Somebody will probably have some better advice.

King.
 
Great advice from KB, if you are using a long lens (ie 100-400) things get a little easier. Because generally the plane will be filling the frame, i use evaluative metering, on bright days using +1 ex comp.
Like KB says, keep an eye on your histogram! If you have IS, turn it off.
Dean:)
 
awesome photos Dino F. I love the first one, what focal length was that taken at?
 
640mm:LOL: long end of the 400mm lens.
Thanks
Dean:)
 
No, sorry, i meant with the crop factor.
