Downtown Fort Worth Aerial Photos (56k warning) - 02-28-2007, 04:25 PM


My camera and I got the opportunity to tag along with a friend as he did some flying around downtown Fort Worth last week... Here are a few of the shots. Hope ya'll like them. I'm definitely going to have to talk him into letting me do this again.

The whole set is here: http://www.jeremiahstrauss.com/galle...tworthflyover/

Jay, this is a stupendous set of photographs. I'm in awe. Absolutely, the best aerial shots I've ever seen of downtown Fort Worth. Congratulations on this fine accomplishment and thank you for sharing.

Boy that looks like fun! Great set of shots!

Want to update us on what you used to capture these shots and did you use a polarizer?

Glad you all like the shots!

We were in a little two seater cessna that I was able to open the window of. I basically just poked my 350D out of the side of the plane (with the strap wrapped around my arm as many times as I could ) . It was a little chilly but since we were able to slow down to between 50-70mph it wasn't too bad. I used the EF-S 17-85mm IS. And kept my aperture around 5.6-6 at 200 ISO (400 for closer shots) to keep my shutter speed at 2500+. I was actually really happy with the sharpness considering were only flying around 2500-3000 feet.

Thanks Meacham for letting us borrow your airspace for a few minutes!
