Rudi - ek wonner net hoe kry jy dit reg om sulke helder fotos in die hazy toestande te neem. Ek het nou die selle kwaliteit kamera as jy nie, maar al my fotos lyk of dit in 'n sandstorm geneem is - jou foto kwaliteit en kamerawerk is werklik uitstaande. Mens kry eers respek daarvoor as jy dit self probeer het.

Die weer voor die eerste reën is regtig nie ideaal vir kamerawerk nie. :?

Sien julle Rhino manne een van die mooi dae. My gaatjie vir CFW op Rhino word oopgehou :lol: - nog net sewe vliegure - hopelik. :wink:

Hi !

Dankie vir die kompliment :oops:

Ja, die stof, rook en smog is maar erg die tyd van die jaar, veral as die voorwerp wat jy afneem vêr is is dit maar moeilik. 'n Gepolariseerde filter kan help maar ek gebruik dit selde (meestal net vir landskappe), vir aksie fotos is daar nie juis baie tyd om te peuter met 'n filter nie !

Die hoek van die son is ook belangrik, van agter die fotograaf is altyd beter as van voor. Die lens skerm (hood) help ook, dit help dat die kontras beter is.

Die toerusting maak nie so 'n groot verskil nie, ja, goeie lense help en vinniger fokus help maar nie vir rook/stof nie.

Die res is maar geluk :wink:

Hoop om jou gou by Rhino te sien, die groepie aktiewe ouens word groter en dis lekker !

Groete,
Rudi

Howdy Dish !

Yes, I am going to Rustenburg, depending on weather/work I might fly there Friday afternoon else early Saturday morning, leaving again Sunday morning.

Yes, we can dop/tjop and chat plenty ! So far the weather looks great.

I asked Henni on Saturday if he was going but he seemed a bit reluctant, he is going to miss out on a big jol and it is not that far from Rhino, between 80 and 96 miles depending on the route.

See you on the weekend :D

Rudix & Dish,

Thanx for the invite - I have a few excuses though:
1. Have to jump-start my aerie - hope to have this fixed soon
2. I do open air evangelism after hours - cannot afford a whole weekend right now.

Hope my excuses accepted. Looking forward to our next braai/beakfast & that one's on me!

Henni

Hi Henni & Dish,

Henni, no problem, those sound like pretty good excuses to me :D

See you the following weekend, or maybe Sunday, will fly back quite early.

Fly safe,
Rudi

It is a wonderful bit of history.

They first flew in around 1929, if you imagine a Tiger Moth without the bottom wing it is close. They are normally, but not always, powered by a converted car engine, the original flew with a model A Ford.

Here is a photo of one.

Mine is powered by a 2l Ford Cosworth engine equipped with a reduction drive. It needs to be covered right now (after being stripped for a full inspection), should be finished before the end of the year.

Great fun if you are into some historic low and slow !

Regards,
Rudi
