'Just Jane' night run – November 2010

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Re: the lens used, it was actually the standard 17-85mm lens that came with the camera (I also have a 17-55mm, but that’s having focusing problems and the extra 30mm really helps for static shots), so nothing special. The camera itself is a Canon 50D. The setting used varied depending on the position and I can’t remember the specifics for each shot, but I seem to recall most of them being between 15 and 30 second exposures; the ground running ones are a little less, maybe about 6 seconds or thereabouts.

Brilliant photos Elliot, must get up there armed with the Canon for one of the night runs myself.

Beautiful, absolutly beautiful.

‘Just Jane’ night run.

Those photographs are without-doubt the best that I have ever seen!!! I have been to 4 or 5 of these Taxi-runs and taken a lot of photographs, so has my mate. But nothing as good as yours Elliott. As JayBee has mentioned, the cobwebbs are visible on the nose area…truly excellent shots!!

On the second photo, is that a couple of cobwebs at the front going from the bomb-aimers glass up to the machine guns? These spiders get everywhere. No sooner have I cleaned the car and there they are!
It must have been a terrific lens you used! What superb photos.

Brilliant pictures – she did look good didn’t she. and from the first shot you must have been stood within 4 foot of me!

Marvelous photos !!!!!
