Hi Brett

The camera was a 10D and I used a Canon EF 100-300mm for most of the close-ups of the aeroplanes etc., and a Sigma 15-30 for the wide angle shots. I also have a Canon 28-90 but I don't think I used that much on the day.

I was a bit dissapointed with some of the images straight out of the camera - I found that a lot of them were under exposed by a couple of stops. Also, I used a circular polarising filter for most of the shots in the sky to bring out the blue.

Luckily, the 10D is a **** hot camera, so I was able to sort them out in Photoshop easily.

With the benefit of hindsight, I'd have compensated the exposure more to take account of the bright backgrounds, but that's the beauty of being an amateur - we can learn from our mistakes!

Glad you liked them.

Cheers

Joe

That would have been my brain! I developed the shockwave gallery software myself - it makes it easy to create new galleries quite quickly.
