C2A Lakenheath 25-9-18

Post by Dave934 » Tue Sep 25, 2018 9:07 pm

A massive thank you to everyone who posted "heads up" Thank you.
Well....the light got worse and worse, I kept upping the ISO until finally I hit the full mark !!
It's the first time I've used ISO 12800 !! Even at that, I was only getting about 200th of a second shutter.
To say the images were a bit noisy is an understatement, but Photoshop managed to make them look a bit better.
Thanks for looking.

Great effort in really challenging light, luckily i managed to catch it at Lossiemouth earlier in much better light.
Cheers.

Like the effect of the strobe on the first one. Like you say spray and pray. These sort of pics are never going to win prizes, but having done it myself, you do occasionally get something decent, and it's a nice wee change from the norm.
