Thanks, too bad it does not have a nose gear light! (look at Moose's shot)
Re: HISTORY UNDER THE STARS 2009
Fred, this is a little off topic but everytime I see your work I wonder "Man, what lens was he using".
Are you still using that Tamron 70-300?
Just another testament to how the photographer takes a great image not the gear.

Fred shoots with a pinhole camera :shock:
Re: HISTORY UNDER THE STARS 2009
I feel like a silly when I see hardcore photographers taking beautiful shots and I have my little 8.0 MP camera. :lol:
Re: HISTORY UNDER THE STARS 2009
Its not the size, its what you can do with it.
Just look at what Phil can do with a quarter inch killer!

I have a few different Tamron's as I have 2 variants of the 70-300 and I have the 28-75 F2.8 and Kit lens. The 28-75 is SWEET for static ground shots, but I have the Longer lens for the flying stuff and must keep the lens stopped down. No IS
makes shots like these Difficult at best. Zoomed out past 200mm makes the long lens ok at best. The New lens seems to
be better towards 300mm.

Re: HISTORY UNDER THE STARS 2009
Great panning with that P-40! Worked out great especially with the bank.
So for all those night shots you use your kit lens or the 28-75 2.8?
Re: HISTORY UNDER THE STARS 2009
I'm VERY excited to see the shots that come out of this year's! I loved everything from the last time around.
Fred, are admissions to the night based on whether people are professional or is it more along the lines of a photo contest, where winners get the access?

The idea of night under the stars is that the AAM give us incredible access to the aircraft out on the ramp. In return they ask that we FLOAT the images with their name on the Internet in return. It looks like we will have too many people to attend. 50% of attendees will be repeat and 50% will have never attended before. People cut will start with people that did not have shots show up in the mainstream from last years event (for people who have done this in the past). No matter if it is only your website, or Jetphotos, or Airliners, or local news, or magazine.... it is better than not having any picture online or in print. Many of you do incredible work, I am trying to keep the partnership going as it is wonderful on both sides and is fun. As of the new attendees, it will be judged on night photography work and previous publications and work....so yes, it is kid of like a photo contest for entry. (and I get to go this year!!! but I am not counting Moose and Myself.... I know, I am BAD!)
IF YOU HAVE HAD A SUBMISSION that was not night photos, you may want to resend Night shots....Please remember the Deadline and you have time to retake if you did not shoot night shots.
No assistants will be allowed this year to keep the photographers to a maximum.
(Phil, if you were thinking of joining us, your web site has pushed this more than any other, I think your a shoe in :lol: :wink: ....Everyone else would have to wait for the process.)
