Having been kean to test my new camera, I decided to brave the elements this morning and freeze my buns off at MAN whilst waiting for my wife’s flight to depart. A pity the weather didn’t want to cooperate – lighting was rather poo!

Nice shots and I am on the verge of going completely digital but can’t give up the habit of taking slides and enjoying the pleasure they give me when they return and I know I haven’t just got a load of pixels that could disappear at ther touch of a ‘delete’ button. Oh well…..maybe I’ll be as brave as you soon!

And yes Ren, last lot taken on the 300D. Much light up there, so I was using ISO100 & 1/320 sec (with a 300mm zoom), giving around f8….I suspect a faster ISO, faster shutter speed and smaller aperture would all contribute to crisper pics…still learning.
When trying to attempt any shots from aircraft to aircraft, I look at a shutter speed of 1/1000 up. I’m hardly a professional, but there is maximum light up there so you can quite happily get away with a high speed. That’d make it much easier to stop the shots blurring.

Absolutely amazing shots Moondance, in particular the Varig MD11 and MYT 330 🙂

Lovely stuff, weekend rush to PMA or something?
Midweek rush to the Canaries actually….once in Moroccan airspace, there are few short cuts to be had, so everyone is routing on airway centrelines….and with modern RNAV equipped machines everyone IS precisely on the centrelines, making for good photo opportunities.

I think they’ll do! 🙂
Guess who forgot his battery (still sat in the charger! 😮 )? Still, at least I know the gear fits in the flight deck, although carrying it around for 2 days has not been so fun especially when it’s been unusable!!!!
