Aviation Photography / Photography tips needed

« on: September 04, 2006, 08:31:12 pm »

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone could help with a few aviation photograghy tips.  I am new here and also a very amateur photogragher with a very average digital SLR type camera.  I have been trying to take as best pictures as I can but can anyone help out with some advice on the following:

I know that the faster the shutter speed  the better the action photo, but what would be an advisable speed.  My camera will go up to 1/2000.

Any advice on focusing.  Because mine is digital the delay from pressing the shutter release to the actual shot creates problems.  This is especially a problem when trying to photograph aircraft in flight.  If you are photographing say a fast car you can focus on a spot in the road and wait for the car but with aircraft in flight there is nothing to focus on except the plain when it arrives.

any tips would be greatfully accepted.
