this one is?
I'm experimenting again with the Canon 75-300 USM IS. I posted a week or so ago that I had trouble getting it to focus on moving objects with the CPL on. Well, I had forgotten I put the CPL on on top of the UV filter. So I removed the UV filter, put the CPL back on and tried again. I got much better results. The majority of shots were in focus. One of the things I noticed was that the camera (a 1D) underexposes with this lens/CPL combo. But I also noticed that every shot I took in this series and a series of an airplane taking off just a few minutes earlier was that the lens was shooting wide open (f/5.6). I was shooting shutter priority mode at 1/125, to keep the props blurry. Just some interesting tidbits of info I'm discovering and trying to figure out how to use.
I also discovered a habit I didn't know I had. When shooting these types of shots, instead of keeping the camera level, I seem to keep the airplane level, which makes the horizon crooked. I'd never noticed it before. Now that I can shoot a lot it stands out, to me, like a sore thumb. I've rotated this shot about 2 degrees and cropped just a bit to fix the rotation.
Well here's the shot, an airplane just about to touch down. Anyone care to guess what it is?
