NAM in the Snow – 07 Feb 09

Bit late with these but my puter has been poorly and didn’t get it back till yesterday.

A bit of an exercise for me this as I have wanted to shoot aeroplanes in the snow but there has been a marked lack of it over the past few years. Nearly did this time with an opportunity at the Newark Air Museum. I found out that the tilt screen/live view is not much good in daylight and had to go back to the hit and miss principle of framing images, and a lot of deleting. There was also a lot of contrast between bright sunlight and shadows. They were all taken with a 11-18mm wide angle lens on my Alpha 350 on the end of a monopod being waved about in the air with the camera set on ‘AUTO’. I must get a longer shutter release cable as I was a bit limited in height as well.

Lovely!

You can see your monopod affair in the nose Shack shot.

I’ll be at Newark in the summer, Mother-in-law lives near there so I’m bound to be over.
