Hello all,
I may get an opportunity to do some aerial photography over a coastal city in near future.
My available kit is (all AF lenses, except where mentioned)
(a) Pentax 645Z - 28-45mm, 35mm, 55mm, 90mm, 150mm (manual focus)
(b) Pentax K1 - 77mm Ltd, 15mm Irix
(c) Pentax K3 body
I might perhaps be able to rent a Fujifilm GFX100 with one of the Fujifilm lenses ( my choice is GF 23mm f/4 for now)
Well, the restriction in the air is that I WILL NOT BE able to or allowed to change any lenses (or carry any loose stuff which might fall off the chopper). But I could have 2/3/4 cameras dangling around my neck (as long as I am comfortable with that prospect); however, I think more than three cameras would create a lot of interference and I might lose good angles in just trying to pick up the right camera. I guess I should be able to handle the technical complexities for shooting from a vibrating platform in the air.
The major goal is to create some fine art aerial pictures too (other than shooting record/ reportage images) like vertical/ horizontal panoramas etc of the city skyline. There will also be a few sorties in the twilight times and the night time.
I would be thankful to get some advice/ views (generic as well as specific to aerial photography). Pls also refer to any excellent resources on the internet on aerial photography and work by any good aerial photographers using the Pentax/ Fujifilm MF systems (or FF systems).
Thanking you in anticipation.
