Mickwreay · 25 Jul 2010

My first attempts at aircraft work, well photographing them anyway.

Would appreciate some C&C on how to get the correct exposure on the subject.

Cheers Frank,

No need to say they are hard to catch, I setup on a slow contiuos shot rate & tried my best to track them.

I took a few test shots & then switched to manual to hopefully get some decent shots.

i seem to find exposures really tricky when its mixed weather all i manage to do is change settings and hope i come up with something that works. My favorite pic is the missdemeanor hawker hunter

Nice photos, I went up to the airport and was there for about 2-3 hours. Only managed to spot the yellow and black fighter. Lovely shot of it's underside!

I had the same problem regarding the exposure - I'll listen to the advice given by others on this one!

Cheers mate,

I was mainly locking the metering setting on the sea, then taking the shot & it seemed to work.
