I appear to be having technical difficulties with photobucket, can anyone see an image in the second post? No For props, get the shutter sped down to around 250 or lower for prop blur. Also change your metering to partial metering so the camera is exposing the aircraft and not the whole scene. This will blow out the sky, but you will have a better exposed aircraft. When you have a better understanding of how exposure works, try choosing your shutter speed, meter the ground in front and use that shutter speed and f-stop in manual mode. This is a good trick when the subject is back lit. |

Joe, I like the last two aircraft photos you posted, especially the 747. I'm sure if you follow Alex's advice you'll only get better and better. Keep posting....

Joe,
Probably not want you are wanting from this post but thanks for the images of Wellington.
They bring back some very pleasant memories. The gull is especially poignant as I spent many seasons yachting on the harbour. Thanks mate.

No problem, I have only been in Wellington for a month or so, and contrary to what I was told beforehand, it is a wonderful city. The coastlines are magnificent, they have not yet been spoiled everywhere by commercial buildings and high rises as in Auckland. I'm glad you enjoy the shots, there will be more around Wellington soon.
Dave, thanks for your feedback too, there were more shots but photobucket is refusing to allow me to post them for some reason. The '747' is actually an A320, the glint of light on the forward upper fuselage gives it the impression of a hump.

I tried this today and got some better results, but some shots were spoiled. I found the focussing is more difficult with a slower shutter speed, it is surprising how much more sensitive it is at slower speed. Will post a few shortly.

Keep em coming Joe. I am really enjoying the south coast shots. Did a lot of diving around there [missing out Moa Point of course] and can almost taste the sea. Great stuff.

I had a play late yesterday evening and was amazed at the effectivenness of the camera in night mode without a flash. Will post once I get photobucket sorted. Glad you like the pictures  |

You can see the problems I have, the direct links above should all work, but some are split or broken. Oh well.  |
