a question

So even during this historical occasion there still would have been no aircraft allowed in the area for aerial photography.

The reason for the question is an argument between myself and a mate and I thought aircraft would be allowed to fly, but looks like i’m wrong.

Thanks Trident I should have been more specific what I need to knowq is same question but time was around 6:00 am Roman time, as Pope John Paul II lay in state and not during the ceremony.

Your answer is appreciated.

The Vatican is a no fly zone all the time actualy.

Yup. 😀

There is a thread over on history now about the best aviation films – go and have a look and vote!

Flood.

I will look those up, thanx.

Thanks

i suppose you could use Excel or Access.

To do this, there are several rules. At first, use slow film, 100iso or something like that. Then, there is a very easy way of (more or less)prepare your camera. For shots in the dark, generally you can do this (I mean in real night, not twilight). (D is diaphragma openingT is time). Bring D and T together. So, D is F16, then T is 16 seconds D is F8, T is 8 seconds, F is F4, T is 4 seconds , D is F22 T is 30 seconds. To do this you must put your camera on manual. When you do it automaticly, it’s a gamble. I always do it the above way, making the D and T more or less the same. Mostly, I use F8 – 8 seconds. You need to do some experiments, but the results can be sensational.

These are the combinations a given in the way most camera’s are today.
D1.8 T2
D2 T2
D2.8 T2 or 4
D4.0 T4
D5.6 T6
D8 T8
D11 T10
D16 T15
D22 T30

For best results, use a good tripod and always close the lens 1 or 2 stops over its max opening, which in general will give you 5.6 as a first alternative

RE: It’s easy Kab

Kabir, I didn’t understand what you were talking about on MSN, but I see now! I’ve done a couple of them and as someone has said, you just keep the shutter open for longer and it picks everything up. If using a conventional camera, use an SLR… it’s probably only possible with one these.

It’s easy Kab

I can do it with my Canon EOS-620 and EOS-630 (I call them, Phobos and Demos and my really big lens is called Mars 😛 ). Anyway what you do is adjust the shutter to stay open, if your camera doesn’t have this capability, then use a match, that’s what I got told way back when I first started out!

But set the shot up first, other wise the pic will be a blur!

Leave no-one behind!

RE: a question

No, any lens will do, you need however a special technique or a “clever” camera. But what do you want to do excectly?
