Something for an aviation minded photographer to do-video!

My son had said I should ‘go digital’ years ago, but I didn’t get around to it until last year. Getting ‘back to my love of aviation photography’ was great and when I managed to talk a publisher into a ‘cockpit photo book’…I was away. Pity the publisher ‘went’ when the recession hit!
Still I had by now learnt than some of the digital stills cameras take amazing video…something I had to try and haven’t been able to stop doing since!
Yes your Nikon or Canon will probably take Hi-Def video that will make a Sony video camera go green with envy…it’s all to do with the ‘big sensor’.
So here’s my website:

Only videos of ‘historical aviation’ …well with some of my 60’s Changi stills archive that you’ve seen here, thrown in when I feel like it.
Do have a look..as with the right bits, these DSLR’s are changing ‘video’, by making it much more like film (I mean like ‘movie’) with a much shallower depth of field and the wonderful quality ‘still’ lenses bring.
I’ve just edited a round-up of last Sunday’s Great Vintage Flying Weekend

and of course ‘that Nimrod arrival’

However there’s more on my website…and much more to come as I think ‘moving machines’ need the moving image!
(Switch to view ‘full-screen’ if your computer connection is fast enough to allow.)
Do check out the ‘taster clip’ in Russ Carpenter’s Lightning T5 cockpit as I’m still working on that with him.

“aviation videographer”….err I think I know what that means as I’m the guy with the heavy tripod… and the big hole in my wallet.
