Hi: I posted this on the 7D Forum a few days ago before I came over here so thought you would like to see why I'm an airplane nut.
I flew with Denis in the open cockpit Stearman in
formation with one Chipmunk.

The previous time I used the 28-300 Tamron but in formation it
needs more wide angle. The 18-70 kit lens did a fantastic job,
well at least I’m pleased with the results. Airborne shots are
Shutter Priority at 1/320. Not much PP, cropped and compressed.

Your comments please.

great to see the A100 and you airborne in that mirror shot - call that a dual lens "reflex" then?

Also, did you use the "sss" in flight? what happened to your 7D?

and Thanyx for keeping up your post scheme with the "birds and beauty" combo - hard to beat!

Still no affordable beamer with slide film look, but now I am sold....welcome 5D

Real airplanes have round engines! Sure would like to fly that bird you are in. Heck, I'd even settle for the Chipmunk.

BTW, the shots are great! Guess you knew that!

Take the scenic route! Life is too short to do otherwise.

Awesome shots!

What's your regular setting of choice? A-priority? And do you fiddle with the whitebalance setting at all? Finally, what setting for sharpness (or do you do all sharpening post processing):?

Thanks for looking.

With my airplane shots I generally always use shutter priority 1/320 to 1/400 for prop jobs and 1/800 to 1/1000 for jets. I have the sharpness set to +2 as I am a nut for sharpness. White balance is on auto. and ISO is 100 unless I'm taking flash in a dark spot then I will bump it up to 800 test as I go up.

Some I have to sharpen in PP and depending on the circumstances some brightening and gamma adjustments.

Hope this helps.

Very very nice shots. No 2 is great.

I cant imagine Nikon and Canon dslr owners hardly mention the Sony Alpha. Look at those shots.
 
I have enjoyed looking at your photos of aeroplanes (as they are called over here).

Please keep contributing when you can.
