Shuttleworth Evening Show

From what I can recall (without checking the EXIF data) I started on 100ASA upto the Hurricane, by which time I was up to 400ASA. For the “Edwardians” I had to go all the way up to 1600ASA.

The light was not as poor as it seems. I can’t talk for Bill, but I left the ISO setting low which led to under exposure – look at the noise in these lysander shots.

Wow, jaw-dropping sunset.

Brilliant shots all Just wondering how did they land in the dark sort like. where there lights on the runway?

Agreed with the Gladiator shot. I still use rawshooter and add a touch of shadow contrast -worth experimenting.

I kind of agree with the sentiments expressed by the “Japanese Photographer”. Anyroadup, here’s some more …..
(images that is, not Japanese photographers! 😉 )

Good to see some more photos Bill. A Japanese photographer was there last night. When I asked him why he was not at RIAT, he looked at me with pity in his eyes and said ”They are just rockets with wings”

Just a few more from what can only be described as a “Magical Place” …..

…. and then the light started to go!

I think it was actually dark by now ….

Just dug out this shot of the triplane taken at a 30th. You just need to practice.

Thanks – take off shots are usually at 60th though I often drop to 30th. I do use a shoulder support.

Wow – some excellent panning shots! What shutter speed were you using? Even with IS, I get blurry shots at anything slower than 1/50.
