Trondheim Lufthavn Værnes, October 23rd

My sister, a friend and I participated in a short film contest this weekend. 60 hours from idea to finished film. Quite a task..

So we headed to the airport to shoot some planes landing. I shot two of them in 50fps to make it nice in slow motion, which was one of the unique ideas we had for the opening shots of the film.

Too bad we were in such a hurry, and the sound didn't really work out.

But here you go. enjoy.

Very nice, I'm impressed by the fact the camera is very stable

[OlaHaldor]

Thanks

I had the camera (or the lens actually) mounted on a tripod. I shot it with the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS L, so I had the stabilizer switched on. Worked like a charm.

[ruyjo]

Yes, it looks like nothing could make the camera shake. And it's also very handy, a girl for the external microphone

7D? I heard that using IS on a tripod caused problems. It looks like it did real well.

[OlaHaldor]

No, 60D. If I couldn't flip the monitor and rotate it as needed, panning around would be way worse than it was. Yeah, I've heard that about IS too, but it worked well. I figured I'd switch it on due to the loose soil I was standing on, as well as the wind gusts.

That's probably the last time I'm spotting from that very location, since they're building a new road. It was an open construction site. No barriers. So I didn't really feel like we were trespassing, yet we came so close to the fence!

Not a bad location for texture shots? Need a fast prime.

[OlaHaldor]

Hmm I dunno about that. It's very far away and it's at a strange angle, so I don't get much of the walls or anything.

Nice Ola! You can certainly see the difference in those planes, that little GA really battled with the crosswinds, and the jet...looked as fast as...a jet. That's one very good lens there.
