Had a really busy weekend there with the camera, Leuchars Air Show was on saturday and spent sunday at Knockhill for the Scottish French Car Show. Plenty excuse to use my 70-300mm lens for the first time.
The weather at knockhill was pretty dire so had no problems with light there but at Leuchars it was a different story... The runway is pretty much east/west facing and at the air show you're positioned on the North side of the runway. On a gorgeous day, like it was yesterday this is a bit of a pain for newbies with cameras
I'd read up that using shutter speed priority (TV mode on my Canon) was best for moving objects that i'd be shooting this weekend. Problem is that facing into the sun has meant that most times when the picture is bright enough to show the north facing part of the plane, the sky is washed out
These pictures aren't edited to show what I'm on about, also the reason that they're quite big. Seem to have some variation
Is there a way to give the sky some colour again? Or is that just unavoidable and you pick the best?
Plane is a bit dark in places or just me?
About right
Washed out sky
Ground and plane are fine but 'lost' sky again
Sky has colour but plane is too dark
Nice balance imo
Replacing 'lost' colour
