Air to air photography
At my club we want to take some air to air photographs of a glider for
promotional purposes. Does anyone have any useful experience they can pass on? Questions I'm thinking of: What is a suitable camera aircraft? I imagine another glider is not the easiest for getting the camera where you want it but does have the benefit of low vibration. However I will be using an image stabilised lens. High wing or low wing? What formation to fly? What is the best/easiest combination of distance between the aircraft and lens focal length? What pattern to fly? Obviously having the sun in the right place is important but we can't fly in a straight line forever. I imagine if you're using a tug (which has just launched the subject glider) you wouldn't want the rope on the back. I know that careful planning and briefing is important. Stephen -- |
