Bristol 14/05/05

righto……got my new camera and new lense yesterday and just couldnt wait to try it out……decided to go to BRS for a couple of hours at lunch time, have an ice cream and photo some airplanes……heres the results, I am loading them to canon image gateway so I think its going to work dunno tho……

btw

camera = Canon 350D = EXCELLENT ALL ROUND

lense = Sigma 50-500mm = HEAVY BUT VERY VERY GOOD!

so lets see if this works…….

canon image gateway is a load of ARS* so I will just have to upload them a different way…….gimme 10 mins……….

…..10 mins later……..

ok take 2!

thanks for waiting guys……I had lots of fun today with this setup i need more practice with this new lense at the lower shutter speeds but for jets its stonking!

sorry for the size and number……..

i figure the steps is the way to go to get some decent runway shots…..someone else was parked in the spot where the fence is lowest, in relation to the road side…..that fence ruined some really nice stuff!…ahh well……

somthing I have been meaning to say:

we were visited by the bristol airport police detachment. they were giving out little cards, asking to report anything suspicious, they didnt have a problem with people being there at all, it was really good to see that paranoia hasnt swept as far as bristol, and long may it remain that way.

wtg guys 🙂

thanks guys…..if it was westerlies I’d probably have post-rotation photos only!!!

wannabe…..if its the standard 75-300 you get with the EOS300 package (which I think it is…….) its not too bad, on an EOS300D that will get you out to 480mm I think the sensor is bigger on the 350D so the crop factor has come down a bit…not really sure on the specs tho………

I used that lense for all my airshows last year and was perfectly happy with it………it just didnt have the reach that I want.

Do you have any examples of shots taken with it? I’m guessing the 300D willproduce roughly the same as the 350D….

Looks like you got the measure of your new kit pretty quickly… But I don’t think you got as good a tan at BRS as those of us who were at MAN did – what a difference 200 miles makes! 🙂

Most impressive. 🙂

I can’t say I’m too struck on the thick black border, though.
