On 4th July the International Air Rally came arrived in Digby. As you will see, many of the images were taken from a position just a few feet from the spot landing threshold. Being so close was exciting, and I hope I captured some of that in the images. Thankyou to Digby Municipality for allowing special access.

criticalevent > C-FDTM - Cessna ??? - Private Owner - Digby Airport - 4th July 2007 

A dramatic picture as this popular high wing aeroplane type skims the runway seconds before touchdown. 

Photo Tips:
Having a position so close to the runway provides a great vantage point, and for once the Sun was in a good position to illuminate the landing aeroplanes in both front on and as in this case the classic 3/4 or "wedgie."  I feel propeller blur is a vital requirement for these pictures, and some background blur is also very welcome - so we have a shutter speed limited photo. In this case I chose 1/250s. The capture technique requires the aeroplane to be "tracked" (accurately!) as the shutter is released - like panning - however a simple look at the oblique geometry and angular velocities of different parts of the aeroplane during the exposure make this much more difficult that regular planning, especially when so close.
