Machine gun’s no good if you ain’t looking 😉
Very true 🙂 but to illustrate what I mean: you got a nice shot of the Tornado disappearing almost completely behind its vapour. This vapour cloud was “flickering” and only obscured the aircraft for a fraction of a second several times. Missed all those flicker clouds as after only three shots my camera started saving the images to the (80 speed!) CF card and I couldn’t make anymore pictures until it was too late 🙁
There were several of such cases where I just knew you would have the shot (and your Duxford thread here just confirms that :)). The inverted Tornado with cloud is another one (I lowered my camera cause it stared saving and by the time it was done the Tornado would be too far away anyway).
Speaking of looking, I wish the viewfinder would show some extra area around the image I am shooting. Since the EOS 300D enlarges 1.6 times, there is no reason why this couldn’t have been done. It would allow some better planning of the shot, now and then (as you can more easily see other planes coming into the frame).
O yes, moon on a stick would be nice too 😉
Thanks Tom, glad you like ’em! 🙂
