A very interesting little aircraft you have!
I may have some more, but here’s one already.
If you PM me your e-mail address I’ll send you the full-resolution images (3072×2048 pixel JPG) 🙂

Thanks very much guys! As promised, MORE!

Again, many more can be found here: http://skyraider3d.military-meshes.com/skyraider/photos/old_warden/

These last few shots were taken with a shutterspeed of 1/40th or 1/50th of a second. Very hard to get them sharp, but worth it for the few that do come out well.

Be sure I’ll come and say hello again next show 🙂

JDK, glad I could surprise you with something “fresh”. Next time I hope to take a tripod with me and get much much crisper results.

OK, show’s over guys!

:D:D:D

I don’t remember where I saw it – quite possibly on this forum – but here’s a nice F-86 take-off…

Fixed gear planes are plane cheats when it comes to low flying 😉

Has anyone got pictures of Belgian Fouga Magisters flying inverted over the runway, VERY low?

Hey Johan! Good to see you here too. You should start a thread and post some of your stuff – especially the carrier visit 🙂

Very nice set of pics. What equipment do you use?

I can’t agree with you Curlyboy. I use the EOS 300D and it focusses fine, but it depends on the lens. My Canon 75-300 for example is rather quickly “satisfied” with the focussing and does a bit of a sloppy job now and then. Slow or fast, doesn’t matter.

The EOS 300D/350D doesn’t have a good servo autofocus though, if that’s what you mean. It only works in the Sport setting, which I find useless for photographing aircraft, and that one indeed isn’t fast enough. This is a known Canon-specific problem which has existed for over ten years already. Pity they can’t (won’t?) sort it out.

PS. There is a hack where you can enable servo autofocus even in other camera settings. It involves sticking a microphone jack into the camera. Haven’t tried it myself…

Thanks James!

Wondered myself about the stringbags… Always enjoyed seeing those 🙂 My guess is the RNHS rotate their aircraft and both Swordfish are now under maintenance…

OMG, a flying Fury! That’s awesome.

The trio of Jugs are fantastic as well – especially the bare-metal pair, as is the 109.

One big advice on your pictures, though: Use a longer shutterspeed. All your propellers appear frozen and this takes the motion out of prop planes. Never go above 1/400th of a second. You’ll find the “failure rate” of your pictures will double or triple, but the pictures that do work out well are definitely worth it!
I personally shoot anywhere between 1/100th and 1/350th of a second, but 1/400th is just about acceptable too.
Practise with longer shutterspeeds and increase the time when you get more comfortable with them. I’ve seen airshow pictures taken at 1/30th of a second and they are absolutely fabulous. I haven’t managed myself yet though and find 1/100th already more than a challenge to keep in focus!

Nice pics.

I’ve been trying to see the SeaHawk for a very long time now, but it always seems to evade me somehow. Does anybody know where it will perform this year?

do what I did after after years of this sort of stuff, never bother to attend again.
I now only go to Old Warden

That makes two of us!

…although I do occasionally attend other airshows for variety’s sake 😉

Can we make Nikon versus Canon arguments a banning offence please…?

As long as we agree that the grain on the D70 is appaling compared to the silky smooth Canon ISO-100! 😉
Not to mention the way Nikon deals with moiré effects… yuk! 😀
