Swiss efficiency

[TobyV]

Here's a photo I took at ZRH last weekend. They've really optimised the time between successive departures

Same aircraft twice

Surely not a trick of the camera?? Imagine how many we could get into LHR with separation like that

Great image Toby

My question is, did you use a tripod for the two shots or did you shoot from the hip.



btw it's that bright at a quater of six in the PM there?

gets dark at 7 down here....

Just former Swiss Air Force Hunter pilots going for a formation take-off!

No tripod needed, it's just two successive shots stitched together, the join is in the "w" of Germanwings.

Joe - has the EXIF information been preserved even after so many resaves?! Yes it was 17:45ish last Sunday, another few weeks and it'll be dark by 5pm. Unlike the UK, it'll never be getting dark as early as 4pm I don't think.

uh 17:45 and three seconds according to the camera

Using an iso setting of 250 and following the old rule of thumb "f8 and be there" ....the shutter was set at 1/320 for proper exposure,
and the focal length was at 210mm


You used Paintshop Photo Pro 13 on 10-14-11 at 23:13:56


Well done ... creative shooting can be very hit and miss.... you nailed it pretty good ... imho
