All,
Here a series from Volkel in the past week. Night flying seemed like a great opportunity for my
try out of the new tripod along the track. The first wave took off from the parallel runway. Here
some pictures of this wave with wonderful light on it. The tripod was then used to film, I will show
that film again later. The second wave was photographed in total darkness. The location was on the
holding area near the fence of the spotter corner. I caught the Falcons with the 70-200mm in a
shutter speed of 15 seconds. Darkness at Volkel is really dark in that corner, so that explains the long
exposure times. I took the last one with 400mm when the two F-16s were between the runways on the
holding spot. Difficult to focus in the dark, so I did that manually. Didn't think it was bad for a first
attempt with this setup. Hopefully the same shots next time, but than with the F-35 in front of the
lens. Secretly the F-16 is much nicer than our newest aircraft

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
