Right, tomjnx … I will fly to this field on every Monday for work this year … every VMC Monday that is … It’s actually a good runway, always dry and hard. The one bad thing is the reflections of the nickel edges on the back side… but if I keep the prop I will spray the back sides flat black
For a change I used my Nikon D4 for a cockpit photo in flight, and not the iPhone. 17-35 mmm lens, HDR mode, light editing in Capture NX2. …. If that damn thing wasn’t so heavy!
That’s an interesting point – HDR mode. My camera does it and even the 808 phone does it but I haven’t used it for years because it produced a rather unreal contrast range.
That depends on how you use it. Here i used only a difference of 1 f-stop between the two pictures
Here my baby although she has two fathers.
That’s a nice little bird ;-)

Just tried it. Very good! I had to use two stops to really make it work. Also on the K3 you get a long delay before you can take the next shot (10-20 secs). Or do you combine them on a PC?
Yes, sometimes you need 2 or even 3 stops to make it work. It can look a bit too artificial then. I try to do it with a very short shutter time which works pretty well with the D4, but even ten i sometimes get a blurred picture. In the D4 the lag is only a fraction of a second if you use a very fast memory card. But it doesn’t always work. HDR is better for landscape pictures from tripods …
But of course, you can do a series with bracketing (-1, +1 f-stop) with a short exposure time and then do the HDR on the computer! Let me know if that works.
Got these two pics yesterday. Nice to have some air to air shots.
