Schmoostyler,
I use a (now outdated) Olympus C300 3MP compact. It takes reasonable pictures like these:
No place like home
Classic at LRE when I did some work for Sunstate
Looking over the shoulder.
Qantas Hangar at LRE
Right base RWY10 LHI. Note the blade angle.
There is one guy I used to fly with who has all the good gear, and takes some absolutely fantastic photos. I think his PPRuNe handle is
Jagermeister.
