Digital Photography is Marvelous

As we have moved to the digital generation of cameras we have gained many advantages to enhance our photography. We havw access to programes like Photoshop to modify and improve images. We now have full frame cameras with sensors the same size as the original 24x36mm film and we also have cameras with sensors with a crop factor which is a great advantage with telephoto work.

I recently went to the Amberley air show here near Brisbane, Australia. I used a Nikon D2h camera which has a 1.5x crop factor. This effectively turns a 300mm lens into an effective 45mm lens which is a great advantage for this type of photography. All the images below were taken with the Nikon 300mm f/4.0 lens which is a compact and easy to use telephoto lens.
