Coventry Prop Blurrrrrrr – 14 Dec 08

A hearty well done to everyone from the staff, to pilots and to the volunteers of Air Atlantique Classic Flight, and not forgetting the fire crew, for a very productive and very enjoyable couple or three hours. Roll on the next one. Many thanks to Steve as well for the lift from the main gate to the car park.

First time at night shooting and was quite impressed with what I came away with despite the duff/soft ones due to the camera moving during the longer shutter speeds.

There were a few camera flashes going off Darren but it doesn’t seem to have been a problem. At least not for me.

There was somebody standing next to me, as we were doing the DC-6, using an in-built camera flash and couldn’t figure out why his pictures were coming out a bit dark. 😀

Nice shots Brian. Good to see they were not ruined by other photographers flashguns (which can be a real pain on night shoots).

Thanks for the above, Brian, excellent as always. I’d booked my tickets and was looking forward to the event, but had to cancel when my wife fell ill.

Any gen on shutter speeds /ISO ratings used ?

I’m a great believer in letting the camera do all the work rather than faffing about with apertures and shutter speeds. I turned the programme dial to ‘Night’, turned off the flash and set the ISO to 100 which meant some very long shutter speeds. The Dak with props turning ended up as 8 seconds and the Venom was 3.2 seconds. A sturdy tripod and a remote shutter release are essential.
