As a professional aerial photographer for many years, I hold the Camera, with someone else at the controls, Seldom slower shutter than 1000, don't touch any part of the aircraft, open a window and off you go!

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
Photography is a lovely life but up until now learning was only through searching the internet, which is excellent but impersonal & reading everything I could get my hands on. A forum like this is like a big family all willing to help, I love it.

Thanks Brian45, our paths may cross oneday, all the best

Thank you all, it's great to be here!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I have been watching for a while & really enjoy the topics, Ken

Hi all, this sure is a great forum, I'm enjoying reading & learning new things regarding photography & cameras.

If holding the camera in your right hand & holding the lens in your left hand, your thumb is right beside the lens removal button on any Canon or Nikon camera.
I have had this happen to me. Ken
