From touring the recent air displays and seeing several forumites clicking away, how about these handy tips:
1. Get the biggest and most expensive digital camera money can buy. Canon is in, Zenith is out.
2. Have a HUGE grey telephoto lens (Black is out of fashion). Undertake a course of weight training to hold said lens up.
3. Have a super motor drive, 3,000 FPS at least..
4. Point roughly at aircraft, finger on button and click away, ensuring that you take at least 100 shots as the aircraft flies past. For pictures at Old Warden, Fairford and Legends, take 200-300 shots of each pass
5. Get home, download digital images. Pick the best one, erase the remaining 790,883 images…
6. Flood the internet forums with your handywork. For events at Old Warden, ensure that a good proportion of images are the same as the ones we saw last week, and the week before etc etc. Sit back and await adulation from fellow forumites and receive almost certain elevation to professional snapper status…
7. Open up a website, so that even more people can see your handywork.
By the way, all you snappers better watch out. I saw a chap at Woodchurch yesterday taking pictures of the displaying aircraft on his mobile phone! 😮
