Post by: stunt1 on June 17, 2011, 07:38:57 PM: Elwyn,

Thanks for some great photos. They are really appreciated since I couldn't be there. We love a copy of the disc when you put it all together.
Send me an "E" Mail, rlampione@verizon.net. Let me know what the cost is.

Thanks,

Bob Lampione

Post by: Elwyn Aud on June 17, 2011, 07:45:37 PM: A few JYW pics. Not many action shots due to the fading light.

Post by: proparc on June 17, 2011, 07:48:02 PM: Elwyn-what photographic equipment do you use?
Title: Re: Brodaks Friday
Post by: Elwyn Aud on June 17, 2011, 07:51:45 PM: A few more. The U-tronics plane acted like it had a tired motor. Level flight, touch and go's and a little taxiing was all it managed. It had to have the longest flight of all the JYW planes.

The results aren't in yet. I think Joe crashed his JYW airplane during the square loops. Dan crashed our airplane while prop hanging. The airplanes pretty much do the entire pattern anymore.....

There were quite a few airplanes that flew very well!

Thanks for the pictures Elwyn.

What focal length lens do you normally use for your in-flight shots?

It's a variable zoom lens and I never pay much attention to the settings. The camera specs says the lens goes from 24-840mm (35X optical zoom)but if you look at the specs on a photo using full zoom it says 150mm so I'm not sure how to interpret that. I would guess I'm probably using 200- 500 most of the time with the full zoom on occasion.. Using the full zoom on something moving can get a bit dicey.

Post by: john e. holliday on June 22, 2011, 08:37:16 AM: Go for it. I have seen some strange stuff published over the years. I think Flying Models is the only mag that hardly missed and issue with a control line plane of some kind. H^^
