Any guesses on the aeroplane?

Got some dates through for a course in January so i may not be on BBMF this summer, all good things must come to an end.

I’d heard you got dates for your course ( http://www.polecatz.co.uk/courses.php ) … Good luck!

I’m sure comments will continue to pass through this forum though.

You bet.

oops! did’nt mean chorley, i’ve heard your from Southport in Merseyside. Got some dates through for a course in January so i may not be on BBMF this summer, all good things must come to an end. I’m sure comments will continue to pass through this forum though.

unc,

Touche <————— that means “nice one!”.

1. I don’t come from Chorley!
2. ‘Manual’ 2 out of 36 is a better skilled strike rate than ‘automatic’ 7 out of 400.
3. B/w works better for some subjects due to it’s greater latitude and the fact that colours often distract the viewer from the intended subject.
4. Next year will be so much fun. I can’t wait.

Oh and by the way 2 out 36 aint bad for starters

Bruggen 130,

Thanks for the comments, but re the first, I have to disagree. The black on the LHS, in my opinion, gives the image context, which cropping tighter takes away. I also think it helps draw the eyes to the subject – the picture looks great mounted and framed. But hey, eye of the beholder etc.

Re pic 2 – possibly – to be honest, I didn’t pay much attention to that one. It was a pre-focussed opportunity shot (with large Nav intruding on the bottom right hand corner!).

(Both images shot on Ilford XP2 using a 15mm f4 lens with separate dedicated viewfinder, mounted on the flashmount. Pic 2 was taken without reference to the vf, with an outstretched arm (!), whilst pic 2 was intentionally framed as shown with no issues of parallax etc.)

Maybe with a bit more practice your pics will get better thus reducing the amount of times other people will need to adjust them, Coming from chorley you may want to venture into the world of colour photography now that it is truly up and running. Good luck and best wishes

BTW, I think that’ll be the nose of a big flight engineer …

Not sure if I’ve posted the second shot before. Here are a couple of ‘interesting’ snaps taken this summer.

Hi.
Nice pics, but i think they would be better with a bit of work, the first one’s
got to much black on the left hand side. so i’ve cropped it out,
better don’t you think ? BWT who’s nose is it in the bottom left.
Did you use a camera with the viewfinder offset because it would explain
why there’s to much wasted space on the left. pic two just needed the
framing altering a bit. Anyway like i said nice pics 🙂
Phil.
