I am pretty sure it is an artefact of stitching two adjacent images together, the ground is fine but because the aircraft moves between shots it doesn't fare as well.

Pretty close:

"A common setup is to have a high resolution monochrome camera and then a separate camera that takes photos with various colour filters in quick succession... However, if there is a fast moving object in the scene such as an aircraft, it will have moved between exposures and the ghosting or rainbow effects can be seen...

Some of the little stuff requires more skill. beware... Nev

Agreed - I have absolutely nothing against the little stuff and indeed they look a lot more fun than the 40+ year old hulks I'm hauling around the sky. The deciding factor was that the little stuff works better without a large pilot! Once I get my own BEW down to something compatible with RAA aircraft I'll certainly be giving it a go.

 

 

I've been lurking around the forums here for a while since just before getting into my PPL training. I'm based in Sydney and have gone the GA rather than RAA route, but I've learnt a lot from reading these forums over those years and thought I'd say g'day and look to make a bit of a contribution where I can.
