Hey fellow spotters! I've been trying to improve my night photography skills, especially around airports like LAX and JFK where there's always some interesting action after dark. I'm currently using a Sony A7IV with a 24-105mm f/4 lens, but I've been struggling a bit with getting sharp, well-exposed shots.
I'm curious about your techniques for capturing aircraft in low light. What camera settings do you recommend? Do you think upgrading to a faster lens, like a 70-200mm f/2.8, would make a significant difference? Also, any tips on post-processing in Lightroom to reduce noise would be appreciated.
Additionally, if anyone has specific suggestions for good spotting locations at night, especially where I can get closer to the action legally, I'd love to hear them. Looking forward to your advice and any sample shots you might want to share!
