I had to laugh, one guy started his jet down the runway, but didn't have enough speed to lift off, so right in the high weeds the jet went into, haha.
It was a blast, I did have fun.
Here's a pic from my iphone. There were a lot more planes, but this gives you an idea.
So my computer is in the shop getting a new hard drive, but I was looking at some of the pictures I took and here are some.
They are photos from my iPhone off of the lcd screen of my camera.
It was fun and I learned a lot about my camera. The planes are in focus, just hard to tell.
Yes, that's a real hawk.
I love shooting to rc heli aerobatic flights in photo-sequences like this:
Just a fun idea in case you have not tried yet.
Ricci.
You basically need a camera with continuous shooting mode and take the motion sequence on a tripod for a still take. Then you need an image processor as Photoshop to auto-align, cutting out what has not changed position on each frame (leaving in the helicopter in this case) and then merging them all to one image. One of the frames has no cutting to include the background, normally the first one of the stack.
It works with any moving subjects as people, flying objects, all kind of sports, wildlife, etc.
A couple of more examples:
I'm starting to go through my photos.
Clearly I need more practice with the correct shutter speed and post processing for that matter, but I do like this one as the plane is in focus and the trees and pilot are not.
If anyone hasn't tried to shoot one of these events, you should, it's really fun.
