Forecast indicates possible morning shower or drizzle for this morning in Brisbane, but just in case the sun does come out to play….

In Jul 2008, I managed to grab a shot of five F-111’s flying over Brisbane. I have attached a full frame shot and a central crop to illustrate the results for the camera/lens used, as well as the histogram should anyone want to see what settings I used, which were as follows:

Canon 40D
Canon 400mm F5.6L
ISO400, 1/1600 sec, F5.6.

It’s going to be a tough shoot if the clouds are low….

Anyone have any experience shooting aeroplanes against a grey/white, cloudy background?

Cheers

Dennis
