Hi Guys, more images from Flying Legeds 2018. I had a c*nt of a time with my camera and I discovered to my horror that I had dust in my lens as well! So my images were on the whole disappointing. nevertheless, I found a few that I was happy enough with that I could reveal to you guys. Again, with the help of editing software I've been able to make something worthy out of the rubbish I took. A sample, with a link to more below.

B-25 hard reflection

Memphis Belle colour drain

US Airman

DC-6 crowd

Low Bucker

Spitfire dusty

B-17 smoky pass

Little friend BW

Red Bull formation

Spitfire XIV taxi

God stuff Grant. I too had problems with one of my cameras, and had to change lens /bodies - think it was the heat.

Could well have been, Terry. In editing I noticed that in the shadows of some of my images there was a bit of noise, and I talked to a mate whose a professional photographer about the issues I had and he simply said, "Grant, you need a better camera."

I'm looking at investing in a Nikon D850 for starters.

Ah, for the days of my old Olympus OM 35mm film cameras - would work without any problems in all temperatures, weather and rough conditions.
But then, after every 36 frames, some action was missed whilst re-loading another film - and even for me (with company discounts on films and processing), it was expensive. Probably never exceeded six rolls of film at an airshow, although it taught me to be 'selective' with shots !!

Ha ha! A mate has a Canon 5D Mk.II and it's nice. I do like the way Canon arranges its functions, but I have lenses to fit my Nikon. I was looking at a 5D Mk.IV, but the D850 is simply a better camera for airshow work. If I was stuck in a studio or doing landscapes, the 5D would be top of the list, but the Nikon is a better action camera.
