I was supposed to be meeting up with Nemo this morning, but unfortunately he couldn't come. he said things had come up, but I just think he was a little scared of the weather Cheesy

rained all morning, but that did mean the spray produced some nice shots, as did the condensation and vortices

....unfortunately it was also very dark, meaning loads of the shots came out blurry...heres a few of the nicer ones...starting off with some heavies

Virgin 744 pushing back the surface water.

A 747F in need of a clean....Jet8 cargo...very lightly loaded.....look at the the rotation point compared to the virgin 744....acted like a dash 8 Cheesy

...well maybe not

PIA 777....love the condensation in those HUGE engines!

Man! Horrible conditions, but what nice effects do they create! I love the waterspray and the condensation, especially in the 777 engines! Shocked

A VERY decent series considering the circumstances!

But Mic? Blurred shots with an IS lens? Huh

Just kidding!

Notice how half the aircraft is in focus and the other half blurred.... a result of panning and the fact I went down to f5.6 to get a semi decent shutter speed Wink

Just playing around.....impossible to get perfect pics in that kind of weather Cheesy

I use 5.6 wherever I go (indeed, I have for most of my years), can't say I've spotted that happening (to that extent) Wink

If anthing, it's down to the fact you were using such a slow shutter speed that the movement of the nose was actually recorded.

They are quite impressive. Not a phenomenon you see too often either. Nice one.

Call it a placebo, but I've noticed that shots are noticeably sharper at around f8 with that lens.....but I agree the blurring is caused by the low shutter speeds....was getting around 1/150 and below Wink

I don't think it's a placebo. You read it everywhere... all zooms get sharper by stopping them down a bit. But go to far and the effect is lost.
