D70 Aerial Shots

Hello All,

Me and a buddy of mine rented a plane to do some arial test shots with the D70 to determine what kind of lenses/techniques would work best inside a cessna.

It looks like a 70-200mm would be more than sufficient for the job though my 28-75mm Tamron did a great job as well. These shots below were shot with the Sigma 70-300mm APO SU II & Tamron 28-75mm f2.8. The Tamron showed the best results. The Sigma did ok, but the greens were off and the pictures weren't as sharp as I'd like.

I should have tried my 24-120mm VR but I had no time - I wanted to test the tamron & sigma exclusively.

Anyone who could offer any other tips while shooting out of a cessna (either through plexi glass or open window) would be great.

The 3rd one down was the Sigma, the rest are the Tamron:

Enjoy!
