Howdy to everyone
One big doubt has plagued me when photographing aircraft landing or taking off.
Let's say we are at the beginning of a runway and to our left an aircraft is coming in for a landing. If I have a 70-300mm lens attached I might need full zoom at 300mm as the aircraft is approaching. However, once the plane is in front of me I have to rotate the zoom ring reducing the zoom factor to say.. 180mm.
Now here is my question to the experts. Does moving the zoom ring as an aircraft is approaching - in any way compromise the photo? Or does one need to keep a "fixed" zoom while taking photos?
Any input is most welcome. Cheers!
