Sarah,

I use an Olympus E-300 with a 40-150mm 'Olympus Digital' lens. And in that sentence my entire knowledge of cameras, in particular this camera, has been used.

Nick, what Mont is saying is that they probably won't be of the standard Jetphotos are perhaps looking for. Click this link below which are some of mine and see the difference. Then you will know what the Jetphotos screeners are looking for.

You definately have a camera capable of taking quality shots which could be accepted on Jetphotos, just looks like you need some help sorting out how to use the camera best. If you ever wanna hang out at the Airport I'd be happy to spend some time with you to help you bring them up to scratch, I am normally there every Saturday and Sunday. I am no expert I have only recently started submitting to Jetphotos myself but I am happy to help if I can.

Some great shots there Nick W. Personal favorties are the Tristar, the a330 and the MD11, the dark sky behind that one looks great. Good luck with jetphotos.

Cheers, Nick. I may take you up on that offer.

I take these photos for myself and for friends, jetphotos and other sites are just an afterthought!

Hi Nick

I think Monty may be a screener for one of these sites so he was only trying to help and save you any disappointment if the photos were rejected.

BTW Monty, can you email me off board.

Thanks

Bob

Bobby, my only disagreement with what he said was how he said it. I will take more notice of a post which is factual than one which is rude. I know what he was saying, but there are just other ways to say things.

Monty is a valuable contributor to the board, I was just a bit taken aback with what he said! No hard feelings!

what Bob said...I could've said much worse but I just thought I'd give you a heads up.

I'll tell you the basic issues now while I am here.

QF 767 taxi - unlevel, soft, dark & cut off

Thai - dark and underexposed (can't see the wheels) and they are obstructed.

Air NZ 777 is soft and way off level. probably soft out of the camera?

VH-OGP head on is dark & noisey

the UPS should be ok

the Portuguese A330 is a little soft and dark but it should be ok.

emailed you Bob...well I hope it went through.

[Nick W.]

Monty,

cheers for the advice.

You know my camera type from above posts, but I have no idea what setting it should be on.

These are my uploaded photos: http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=25772

the setting used for that is the 'action' setting, which is the one where the dude is running. that is the only way i know how to describe it

I used a setting titled "S" for the above photos, and i think it gives a 1/200 second exposure.

The first plane I ever flew on was a SAAB many years ago and I'll never forget that experience, lotsa noise and vibration. You've gotta love these little SAAB's. With turboprop planes in Australia, SAAB is the boss with 47 currently on the register. VH-JRX is one of the five ex KLM Cityhopper units.
