For example how to properly expose, how to tackle slow focus speed, etc?
TIA

How about using 25mm AA guns?Witness said:point ya camera upwards?...ok its a bad joke
omg, dun make matters too complicated in this thread.lsisaxon said:How about using 25mm AA guns?
Hahaha.. just joking.dRebelXT said:omg, dun make matters too complicated in this thread.
Only tricks for photographing flying/parked aircrafts are welcome.
Yeah, I will take my friend's 17-40mm, hope it helps.lsisaxon said:Hahaha.. just joking.
I think most have posted on how to shoot (photograph) flying aircraft. As for parked aircraft, if you are able to go close, using an ultrawide or a fisheye may yield a very nice perspective.
Again, exposure may be a problem, so sometimes it may be good to wait till evening when the sun is at a low angle. This will help to illuminate the aircraft from the side. Otherwise, hope that it's overcast and the contrast is not that great.
It will certainly help. You may also use a flash to fill-in if the underside of the plane is in shadow. I don't think it will be sufficient to illuminate the whole plane but I think it will be useful as a fill in, so you can play with the flash compensation to achieve the desired effect.dRebelXT said:Yeah, I will take my friend's 17-40mm, hope it helps.
for a moment there I thought you were taking about filling-in for the planes in flight :sweat:lsisaxon said:It will certainly help.
