Hank Taylor Posted October 13, 2012 Share #1  Posted October 13, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just remembered I had some shots taken last May at the Air show, but this time used a Nikon D700 with my R Leica 350mm 4.8 . Usually I have been using the Canon D5 II.  Thank you for viewing  Hank 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted October 13, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted October 13, 2012 Hank, Â Amazing captures that have frozen these planes in mid-air just like life-size models with breathtaking clarity and colors. These pictures could grace the walls of any military museum easily. Â Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gshay Posted October 13, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted October 13, 2012 Hank, Â Outstanding pictures with no fault ! Â Â Question, were where you when you shot these? It would appear in a chase plane in the middle of the course. Â All but the last would have been shot down just 70 years ago by any and all from the U.S. ! Now your pictures show their true beauty regardless of which country. Â You do these fantastic picture at the show yearly. Jealous !

Jealous !  George  Thank you George for those nice comments in answer to your question thes shots were all taken at ground level. I use to fly out of this field and knowing the turf so to speak you know the best area to set up your equipment. Get there early and and get next to the front where you aren't being bothered with distraction . Don't use a tripod shoot of hand at a fast debugger speed set camera on manual and at infinity. Anticipate and don't shoot on in spurts time your action and squeeze shutter and follow thorough like shooting a rifle. Plan to take plenty of shots . I use only one lens on my Nikon D700 a Leica R 350 F4.8 . Best regards Hank 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gshay Posted October 14, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted October 14, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hank, Â The # 3 Is I believe a Lear 23/24 OPS painted released in 1963? And the fastest the P51_____what we would give to fly that `rocket' ! Â Bill Lear _RIP, had over 182 patents when he died. Including the 1st `working car radio' and the awful 8-track stereo. Wide range of GENIUS for a fellow with as I recall only about 8 grades of schooling. Â I don't think HE makes then like that anymore. Â Do you read me ?

k-hawinkler Posted November 11, 2012 Share #10 Â Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Hank, Â As always stunning shots. I am interested a bit how you do these shots. What ISO, aperture and shutter speed are typical? Also, how much do you need to crop? Thanks. Edited November 11, 2012 by k-hawinkler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Taylor Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share #11  Posted November 30, 2012 Hank, As always stunning shots. I am interested a bit how you do these shots. What ISO, aperture and shutter speed are typical? Also, how much do you need to crop? Thanks.  I have been using either a Canon Mark II or a Nikon D700 with my leica 350 4.8 . I generally shoot at around 4000 at f 8 at infinity sent on manual. 400 -600 ISO. With the quality of the 350 I find I can crop on 1/2 3/4 size more then what I shoot. . I have found the leica allows me to crop and still retain quality imageless. Hank 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydkugelmass Posted November 30, 2012 Share #12 Â Posted November 30, 2012 Fantastic series. What is the twin engine flying wing? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Taylor Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share #13 Â Posted December 1, 2012 Fantastic series. What is the twin engine flying wing? Northrop N9M flying wing. This was a one third scale proof-of-concept aircraft to demonstrate the feasability of a flying wing bomber. From this prototype, Northrop went on to develop the full size B-35 bomber which first flew in 1946 and was developed into the B-49 jet bomber. Although these aircraft never entered service, the technology they pioneered eventually became the basis of the B-2 "stealth bomber". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydkugelmass Posted December 1, 2012 Share #14 Â Posted December 1, 2012 Thank You very much, Hank. There were studies about flying wings by the Horten brothers, german designers. Â The big difference is, at our days, about materials. Â Luft '46 - WWII German aircraft projects 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
