Luton photo session. June 2014

[Old Photo.Fanatic]

I had an ad-hoc visit to Luton Monday 16th.
In the area with time to fill, so tried my luck with the very poor met. conditions.

I was quite pleased with the results, had to work hard with the camera and settings to get the results.
Here are some examples of the resulting Pics.

Great photos! Where's the Gulfstream pic?

[Old Photo.Fanatic]

I was at Luton from 11am- 3 pm.
Do you have a particular Gulfstream in mind.?
If so, let me know the Reg. and I will see if I photographed it during my visit.
The ones I did photograph are in very poor light, so any Pic. will be the best as possible in a poor situation.!!
Cheers

For one who is often critical of the junk some people post in the Spotters Forum, I have to congratulate you on a fine series of pictures, especially in that weather and that light. What camera and lens did you use? Do you remember your settings?

[Old Photo.Fanatic]

Thanks for your kind words.
I run a Nikon D300 DSLR with a non digital pro.level "Nikon ED AF-S 80-200mm f2.8 zoom lens. (one of the best lenses Nikon ever made)

Set Speed at 1/800 of a Sec. With adjustments on the "Compensation" to adjust for the light variations as and when it changed, which was very often.!! (+ 40 years experience of semi pro aircraft photography helps as well)

If my photography skills were even half as good as yours, I'd be very proud.

Great photos.
