Once you’ve done that, try using the sharpening tool – the unsharp mask. This will have the effect of tightening up the images.

Judging by the amount of really great propeller movement you got into the Spitfire picture, you may be using shutter priority set just a little too slowly – use a slightly higher setting until you get better at panning.

Ahh I see that you still have the exif data attached – the shutter is really slow – 1/160 sec – raise it to 1/250th until you get more accomplished, or a longer/better lens.

Some photos you have seen here are taken at 1/60. The spit is lens shake this crop clearly shows it. There is two of everything.

If your pictures are over exposed, I don’t know how the Canon does it, but at 160th it might not have had the ability to give a high enough F number. On my camera, if it can’t get it high enough, the F number stays red, which means it’s asking me to use a faster shutter speed.

You Gripen photo was much better, and I managed to sharpen it quite nicely:

I don’t see any reason to clean your camera, but there is a smudge on the lens, I think.

SLR’s can go out to an f-stop of 32 with the correct lens, unlike point and shoots which are often restricted to an f-stop of 8.

As for dust, the spit shot is covered in it.

Curves in photo shop on the white, then levels and pick the grey on the pavement. And then in colour adjustment remove some blue.

This was very quick, so is a bit rough and it needs to be done of the large files.

It’s not often that I’m wrong, but it would appear that in this case I was. The container doesn’t contain an Australian P-51. No it has the flying Lancaster that has gone missing from here (New Zealand) that the media has been reporting over the last few days. I just hope that no damage was done when the Lanc was shoved into the container as it looks a bit small to hold a complete aircraft! :dev2:

Chinese T-shirt slogan????

“Why don’t you rissen–you sirry breeders.”

Exactly, thats the kind of thing. The P-51 must look stuning covered in that sort of thing :diablo:

Unless its a Chinese fighter, a Jian-5 or even a mug-1 😎

That must be it, there’s no way legends would import just a load of t-shirts!!

Seen at Duxford today, 6th May, near the ‘Area 51’ compound. Large ‘Australian’ container hire label on the door.

Does this mean it’s a Australian P-51 thats the surprise this year? :confused:

hi everyone , hope you all had a nice christmas. I left a post on here before about which camera to buy as i want to change from film to digital. I still cant make up my mind though. I have around £650, can anybody recommend a camera to me. I have thought of second hand, maybe a 10d or do i get a 350d?? i would be glad of any advice anyone can give me.

As always, think about what you want to use it for, then have a look at whats around to fit your needs. A 350d is a very good camera and if its in your price range, then go and get it. Also the Nikon d70s is also very good.

Wow nice – thought the movie aircraft only had a single gun in the rear though?

I grabbed a twin lewis and mounted it because it looked better for the photos. Same mount and it made up for the lack of the front guns.
