Rhino Park

Postby Rudix » Wed Mar 14, 2007 5:24 pm

Here are a few photos of Rhino Park, taken around the circuit on an early, cloudy morning.

Daybreak, just after take-off.

Looking back at the runway on lefthand downwind.

Starting the turn into base.

Turning finals, time to start concentrating on the landing and not the camera :D

Happy shooting,
Rudi

Hi,

I normally prefer Canon, shoot with 5D, 1Dmk2N and 1DSmk2 but many of these photos were taken with a Nikon D200 and D2X, mostly because of the Nikon 18-200 VR lens that is small and the VR helps a lot with vibration. In the future I will mostly use a Canon 5D with 24-105L IS lens as I find I seldom use more than 100mm and the 5D image quality is a lot better than the Nikons and is nice and compact.

Regards,
Rudi
