My photography journey started as a youngster with a<br />
"hand me down" Instamatic. Fifty years later, I'm pleased<br />
to say my gear has greatly improved and I have been a<br />
Nikon shooter for about 20 years now. Although I have<br />
taken a lot of warbird photos in recent years, I’m also<br />
happy shooting flora and fauna, wildlife, and landscapes.<br />
WARBIRD MAGIC<br />
For the last 18 years, I’ve been a member of New Zealand Warbirds<br />
Association based at Ardmore Airport. This has enabled me to get up close<br />
and personal with all the aircraft there, being able to sit in them, fly in them (as<br />
a passenger) and sometimes work on them. Aviation photography has taken<br />
up the lion’s share of my hard drive!<br />
I enjoy air-to-air photography for its unique perspectives, different from what<br />
you can expect at ground level. Usually, the subjects with ever-changing<br />
backgrounds make great photos with just minimal enhancements required. It’s<br />
not always the most comfortable of experiences, but it does produce some<br />
great opportunities for exciting photography.
