Old cars and planes

thomb · 06-29-2008, 09:20 PM

I spent saturday checking out the Greenwood car show and the Flying Heritage Collection fly day. Got a few shots off.

The sexiest car ever built-

The Flying Heritage Collection is a collection of WWII era planes, most of which are still flying. During the summer they fly a couple of the planes every other week. This week was the Storch, a german scout plane, and the Spitfire, a british fighter. The spitfire was great fun, but the Storch put on a real show demonstrating its ability to take off and land on a postage stamp. There was sufficient headwind that the pilot almost had the thing in a hover. Very cool.

Yeah, I'm still figuring things out. I was playing around with aperture priority and didn't even think about what was happening with the shutter speed.
