Aviation Photography: May 2008 Archives
I made a visit to Aldinga Airfield today. There was not much going on but I did manage to meet the management and discuss taking photos and video for the site. They made me feel most welcome and I managed to get some new photo stock and video.
The video has been edited and is on line in the Video Gallery. Selected photos have been added to the Piston/Classic and Light Aircraft sections.
I will be keeping tabs on Aldinga and visiting again when there is more going on.
On 14 May 2008 I put the 747-400 Push Back video on our You Tube Channel (ODLWEB) and within an hour or so we had 35 hits and two comments. One person (the first commenter) must not have watched the whole video and indicated we did not know our planes. They failed to realise they were just looking at our leader/tag. Not long after another commenter set them straight :-)
The second comment was most favourable and we would like to inform the reader/viewer to keep watching as we intend to add many more videos to the 5DME.NET selection and the ODLWEB channel on You Tube.
See the You Tube Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW7s4OglrUY or stream direct from our server http://odlweb.info/5dme/5dme-1.htm
Thanks for the comment.
I have just added a new allotment of photographs and video footage from our 10th May 2008 visit to Adelaide Airport. Visit the Photo Gallery to see the latest.
On Saturday May 10 2008, we visited Adelaide Airport with our cameras. We have many shots taken from various locations together with a substantial amount of video. It was a bit of a learning curve to get the video right but we will try again next time. You can see an edited version at http://www.5dme.net/realthing.html (the Real Thing Page). We are working on the stability issues that are involved with recording at extreme zoom on the camera.
SteadyCam here we come!
I am getting a couple of lens adaptors for my camera today. Hopefully we should have some nice pictures when I use the 2x teleconverter and .5x wide angle lens.
I can only imagine what the 2x teleconverter will do for a lens that is 300mm already.
