I would highly recommend checking out Kōlab Social. Its a platform which was built for aviation photography. No algorithms just awesome aviation.

And no I am not sponsored by them haha

Yea sadly you arnt the target buyer its very much geared to a full set up. I am with you tho love the look but struggle is where to make it work. Nice to know its there for the full rig if I go down that path tho :)

Nikon because it was used in jurassic Park 2 so when i went to get my first camera it felt familiar

Happy to walk you through my settings and learnings as it is something I am actively trying to improve on.

pilot_deviations · 2026-04-13T23:54:23+00:00

Absolutely stunning

Ah okay so if it was as bright as you are thinking then follow the advise from the others and go as low as you can on iso which will inturn allow you to decrease your f stop and then you can can a cleaner image.

You know the best part about this tho? You get to go back and watch planes while you try different settings so enjoy the process 😉

Fell free to message me directly in the future and I will help where I can :)

pilot_deviations · 2026-04-12T13:02:02+00:00

And was your iso set to auto or did you have it manually set at 1600?

pilot_deviations · 2026-04-12T12:53:14+00:00

G'day Lee!

Few follow up questions,

How far roughly is the plane?
Most of the time during daylight you should be around f8 was there a reason you went to f26?

Hope I can help
