I totally don't mind critiques. Critiques have been super helpful over the years.
All taken with M50 with with Loawa 9mm F2.8 Zero D. Which does not register in Exif . Set to F11 and infinity focus.
First photo was my favorite, second photo the Zero D shows quite of bit of D in the lower left airplane. The 3rd photo is for reference to see the plane straight and undistorted.
I did download and apply the Venus Optics Lens profile but that only seemed to correct minimal vignetting and some aberrations but does not seem to correct distortion. Might not be possible as manual distortion correction didn't really help. Its not a huge deal, this lens is great and rarely has this issue, but I would like to know what caused this. Was it my angle to the plane and just have to live with it? Can it be corrected? Also the photo was cropped so it not even in the far corners.
I would like to know if the first photo is appealing or is the plane just too far away to make a good subject? Kind of reminds me Icarus! And the lady is very happy looking.
I also notice DPReview can not present photos great in full screen mode on occasion. Let me know if these look clear when you see them.
They look fine on my monitor, nicely exposed, good photos. Others will have more knowledge on rectifying the distortion than me.
I think my approach would have been to take a zoom lens to an airshow. For 'setting the scene' I'd have orientated to portrait at wide angle and taken a series of shots to stitch together using software later. That would have dealt (pretty much) with distortion issues.
Then I'd have been able to zoom in for the 'Icarus' shot to get more resolution. I could have used the tele end of the zoom to get more detailed shots of individual planes too.
The main thing is that you enjoyed the event, and got some memorable captures with your super-wide lens.
Thank you for your feedback!
I also had the 11-22 with me and I took most of the shots with an R7 and RF100-400. The M50 was mainly to get another perspectives. So I was thinking like you would have.
