Ever wonder what it's like being 1500 feet in the air, photographing from a plane with no doors? Read on to learn all about Adam Williams second-ever aerial photography experience: "We all have moments where things don't go exactly to plan, here is a particularly special moment of my own: At the time I was somewhat of a novice when it came to aerial photography, (My second time ever attempting this genre.) The Light Collective guys I was shooting with gave me the run down of the ideal settings for the fast pace of aerial photography, shutter speeds of 1500+2000, aperture fairly wide, F5.6 was my starting point getting out to F8 as the light got brighter, and the ISO set to auto with a threshold of 800. 2 hrs in and everything was going perfect, I thought it was about time to switch to the Nikon 24-70mm. Now I only had one camera body in the plane, rookie error, I guess, but when that’s all you have, you do what you have to do. I soon found out that as opposed to the 35mm which only protrudes from the body roughly 2 inches, the 24-70mm was a very different beast, the 10 inches or so of lens was like a windsock and I’m trying to accurately point the camera in the direction of interesting stuff, which for the most part was outside the plane, in the direct path of the hurricane force winds. After roughly 20 mins of shooting with the 24-70mm things go wrong! The lens release button is right where my left-hand index finger is ferociously gripping the camera. And I guess I was hanging on so tight that I didn’t realise that I had pressed it, tucked in behind the viewfinder I reached for the zoom ring with 2 fingers to get in a little bit tighter on a detail when Wooooooooosh, I feel the lens slip through my fingers and the camera feels a lot different to a second ago, reality hits that this is going to be a very expensive flight indeed. Camera: Nikon #D800e Lens: NIKKOR AF-S Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Settings: ISO 400 | f/5.6 |1/2000th sec | 28mm
