Brize families day - From a tight opportunists view.

Postby Stigish » Sun Jun 13, 2010 10:22 pm

Here's a very small selection of shots from Saturday.
All were taken with the 55-250mm lens on my new Canon 550d in sport mode (I haven't read the manual properly yet ;) ).
First ones a bit off focus as I was still shaking after a full power flyover from about 100ft by this beauty. I arrived not expecting to need my camera so soon :( .

Thanks everyone :)

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Are there any better sites than Photobucket? It took the best part of 4 hours upload 30 pictures.

I've got hundreds of pictures, including lots of landing close-ups. I've got one of the patched up herc from brize and another of a VC10 taken at 55mm which completely filled the shot. They warm you up nicely from that sort of range!

The last shot is fantastic, have you cropped it at all? I use Imageshack, with Photobucket you tend to loose the quality in photographs, it does far to much compression on the image.

Thanks for sharing.
