Hey Again Guys!

First post for a while. Went to test out the new lens (Canon 70-200 2.8 L) on a pretty grey day. Though, good thing about grey days in Brisbane is you can go out early and get some pictures of the big planes without them being backlit! I was really impressed with the lens, infact incredibly impressed, I think these are my best photos to date- Let me know what you think.



































Cheers Guys,

Very nice pictures again Ben, well done!

Great pictures Ben!
Hard to pick a favourite, but maybe OKB the Air NZ 777.
BTW when did you switch to Canon?

Nice shots Ben. Any of ATO ?

@ Anthony, Switch a couple of months ago I guess. Now using Canon EOS 40D, 17-85 IS and 70-200 2.8 L.

Thanks guys, VH-ATO? Nope never saw that one..

Awesome Pics mate,

I am really wanting a camera for plane spotting and ths one looks bloody awesome
How much did it cost you and where from
Cheers

Hi there,

The camera and lens I was using here is the Canon EOS 40D and the Canon EF 70-200 2.8 L. For this setup, it would set you back around about $3000 New Zealand Dollars. Very expensive, I cringe when I realise how much Ive spent on this hobby - but I dont just photograph aviation, check out my website- link below.

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the info mate,
Anyone recomend a good camera for plane spotting and other things with a good camera for zooming.
I want to get into Photography but don't want to spend heaps on a camera.

Very nice photos! But small thing, have you calibrate your screen? And do you use any editor? If yes just try to make a bit less shadows. I have had similar trouble with screen
