Aerial Shots on a Beautiful Day.

Posted 12/10/2024 - 17:33 Link
Took these yesterday through the 'plexiglass' window of an old Cesna 172, didn't hold out much hope. Using the KP and an old SMC-A 50mm F2 (which cost me a fiver) Used a flexible Hood and a CPL filter. Set KP to Tv/Av and F8 at 1000th/sec. PP'd in RT.
CC's welcome.

These are always interesting. The estuary one particularly so.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

I have a possible ID, could be a Yakolev Yak 18-T. According to a mate who thinks he seen it at an air show years ago.

One for Spad.
I played on RT with Local Adjustments' and Full Image instead of 'spot' to lighten the Aircraft with 'Add Tool = Colour and Light' options.
This was taken with my KP and the above mentioned 50mm, with a lot of crop. (earlier shot was not BTW
So not a cracker but I played and cropped and for the 50mm lens I'm chuffed.

Oooooohhhhhhh STOP IT.... cold showers give me a head ache!

Those two 11 squadron blokes will be saying "Henley.... look at that man trying to photograph us with a 50mm".... "yes Farquar, i see him.... looks like Sod is with him too"
