I am new to this Forum but have used Pentax for a long time. Still have an MX and a LX Film Camera sitting in a bag. For Digital I have a K10D, and an old Cannon S-200 pocket cam.
Started with 828 roll fill camera in the late 50's while in 4th grade. Later had a darkroom in high school. Took the NYIP course in the 70's and did a bunch of weddings and some commercial work with Bronica 6x6's for years. Went back to real work for 15 years and now am 'retired' and working on Fun photography. My current interest is aerial photography from my Ultra Light airplane. Wheels, Wings and Radio Things
Any tips on what settings on the K10D will work best from the air? Usual conditions are shooting the ground from 500-1000 feet up in the daytime. Problems are camera shake and movement due to vibrations and buffetting in the air.
Thanks..

I have a Pentax K-10D and have been using it for Aerial Photography. What mode or other settings would work best? I usually shoot from 500-1000 feet from an open cockpit aircraft. I have used the green bar and some of the other settings. Sharpness due to vibration and wind buffetting is the major problem. The other related question is how to focus. I have left the auto focus on and this usually works ok but maybe I would be better off putting it on infinity? Any thoughts on this....
