For most folks when the Sun sets it’s time to go home. But the amazing light gathering power of the EF400f2.8L IS meant we could keep on filming even in the dark.

Clicky

Enjoy.

    I clicked. I watched. I enjoyed!
    I don't think the "banging" you heard on landing is mechanical. I think it's the tire squeal with the distance delay. Just a guess.

    Thank you John. It's still a mystery, if it were tyre squeal surely it would be higher pitched. Someone thought it might be the mechanical aspect of the reverse thrusters. I still don't know. Thanks for popping in.

    Thank you. It was and continues to be very difficult to pan these things. The 701 video head is nowhere near adequate for the weight of the set up (14 lbs). Perhaps a 503 Manfrotto head is in my future....

    Thanks everyone for taking a look.

    Tire squeal is much lower pitched than tyre squeal. I thought everybody knew that. naughty.gif

    And you've prolly modified your car to run on petrol instead of gasoline too.
