As I transferred files from the Nikon D200, I realised that I hadn’t used the camera since January. The keepers make me glad that I forced myself to shoot the Farnborough Airshow this year.
The above photo was taken with the D200 and a vintage manual Sirius 70-210mm f/4-5.6. I had to frequently adjust the exposure because the light constantly changed. The trick, I found, was to place the clouds at +2 EV—as per the zone system— and let the exposure just be in the rest of the frame.
