Anyone shot the Spitfire in Glasgow?

Post by GOOSE » Sun Jan 24, 2010 10:10 pm

Is it at the Kelvingrove site?

From what I've seen there are wires to contend with.

Anyone know what the light is like?

Kelvingrove Museum, indeed.

There's only really one spot you can shoot it from the side from and even then it's tight (there's literally a matter of inches between the wingtip and the stonework). My shot was 17 or 18mm (virtually no cropping done) on a 1.6x crop camera and involved removing my tripod's central column and using it horizontally but it its possible. Will have to try again now I've got a full frame body actually.

And if you're still note convinced it right next to the uni so there's plenty of student totty in the area :D :whistle:
